I Am a Realist

I am a Realist!

Oh yeah! Everyone believes they are realists, but we are only pretenders. We do not know the truth. We have been thoroughly and completely brain-washed and indoctrinated. Everything is just the opposite of the way it looks. If you were a realist, you would not be anxious. If you were a realist, you would be utterly happy. If you were a realist, you would be overflowing with wisdom, health and money.

Is God a realist? If you are not a realist, what are you? An idiot? A liar? A fake? A manipulator? You are not God, yet. God is the only realist. The rest of us are pretenders and imposters. To know that you are not a realist is the best news I can bring you. If you are a realist, we are in big trouble. If you are only a pretender, then there is hope.

I don’t mean that you are consciously a con man or woman , but we have all made up a story about ourselves and we believe it is true. Thank God it isn’t. If our story were true, suicide would be in order. Just be glad we are wrong for once. Don’t spend any more time polishing up, rationalizing, justifying and selling your story. We have been doing that for hundreds of lifetimes. Enough of it!

Get on the path to enlightenment. Wake up. Find out the truth. There are a thousand layers of falsehood to work through. When you get past the bottom layer, you will be free. When you get to the bottom layer of illusion and break through it, you will see there is nothing but Good. That is Reality and only those who live there are Realists. The rest of the time, we are anxious pretenders.

That’s what anxiety is for, to remind us we are not yet Realists. Reality means truth. We are living in la-la-land, Egoland, in a world of our own invention. Not God’s world, not the true universe. We have each made up a false world occupied by a false self. No wonder we are anxious. And no pill will cure that. No pill will wake us up to reality. Only awareness will do that. We are not aware. We are dreaming. We are night-maring.

Why do you think we are on this suffering planet? Is suffering based on reality? Think again. Suffering is based on unreality. We are on this suffering planet to discover the truth. We are not here to manipulate each other, steal from each other, blame each other, outsmart each other, control each other, cling like mad to each other. or fight each other. That is not what realists do. Of course, we have never met a realist, so how would we know how one would act.

Reality is precious, rare, exquisite, and infinitely good. There is not one evil anywhere in it. So tell me, are you a realist yet?
