I have always thought of permanence as a standard for "reality," and impermanence as illusive and unreal.
My cosmic paradigm views all of creation as an illusive impermanent reflection, an illusion, and sees the one static,
silent, unmovable energy, which you refer to as the only reality.
But I do realize that we all have our way of looking at this and there is no right or wrong view.
Thank you for your sharing.  |
As has been said elsewhere by those far wiser than me:
That which is real does not change.
That which changes is not real.
And yet, I also accept that everything is real on its own level, even if it is an illusion from a higher perspective. Which simply means that we accept the reality of the world we live in and deal with it accordingly, while also accepting that it is all a play and we are just acting out our roles. When the play is over and the curtain comes down, we discard our costumes and go home.
Peace.
