Most of the time, we do not want to see the truth. When we see it, we turn away and pretend that we did not see anything. We may not be able to do this for long, but we keep trying!

This is largely because we only want to see what we think the truth should be. We do not see things as they are, but as we would like them to be. Big difference!

We all have different perceptions and opinions. For the most part, they are different because of our character, our life history, our feelings and emotions, our view of the world. Our personal reality is the sum total of our personal opinions, emotions, feelings and images. Most people live within their own reality and are therefore quite isolated from those around them. They are concerned largely with themselves and only perceive what concerns them directly. But the context, the environment in which they live, remains alien to them. This is why we constantly wonder how it is that we know so little about one another, how it is that we show so little concern for one another.

The maelstrom of our thoughts, emotions, worldviews and opinions serves to isolate us. We no longer have a direct perception of the world, instead we concern ourselves with the image of the world we have created for ourselves. This is a subconscious image made up of personal, collective and global interpretations, conclusions, worldviews and such like. The way we treat one another is quite similar. Most of us are not really concerned with others unless there are particular reasons we have to be or it is likely to be to our advantage.

When our interactions are not sincere, we live in a make-belief world where all we can do is dream of living. But life is interactional exchange!

Actual reality is the sum total of all that impacts on us. We are part of it, without even being aware of it. Actual reality affects all of us.

Whereas actual reality serves to connect us, perceived reality serves to divide us. It isolates us because we concentrate more on our own world than on the facts. The only way out is by overcoming our own perceived reality, and by letting go and opening our hearts to the concerns of others. The more we become open towards other people, especially different-minded people, the more we can learn from one another and grow together. This is the only way to build a harmonious community and civilization.

We can tell by the number and the might of the lawyers, judges, courts, prisons, police and military units to what degree a society lives by divine love.

One day, divine love will render all earthly laws obsolete.

Where humans act and react selflessly and with love is where the highest law of creation rules: divine, selfless and unconditional love.
