Excellent essay! Thank you Mr C, I would list this as required reading.

Yes, the unshakable belief in the prominence and tyranny of material existence derives only from the fact that we must leave it. For all of our assumptions regarding 'What Is' require the void.

I can't help but find the interplay between that which is obvious being made so by qualities that cannot be measured to be a kind of cosmic joke.

Its bizarre, yet true that there are different worlds, and in traversing them all the others become suppositions, theories. So, in this one, the mass murder of Palestinians carries with it a defining moment for the abrahamic rulership of this world. They reveal themselves for anyone who might have the faculties to perceive them. The suffering, the inhumanity, the bestial savagery that arrives with the donning of blinders necessary to adopt all the shallow justifications actually makes a mockery of abrahamic claims, lays bare as it were, their ignorance and deceit.

The reality of different worlds does not change the reality of this condition. Rather, the larger perspective creates if anything a deeper sadness, that such genocides bulldoze the understanding of the preciousness and uniqueness of this place, intentionally rejecting the gifts and wonder for something decidedly lesser, something stupid and small that will prove itself to be both painful and ultimately fleeting.

I credit you, Mr C, with bringing us a working of philosophy that is direct and available, and if I may, a bounty to the modern world.

Your essay intricately maps the interplay of illusion and reality across consciousness and cosmos. The depth with which you trace Maya and Atma leaves a profound, lingering clarity about perception itself… and honestly, the imagery might keep me up tonight...it’s scared me.
