• one is that we don't really have access to any kind of reality all we have is a dashboard on which there are images or
• and what it leads to is the idea that we simply make up reality it's made up by us
• on the other hand there is an equally false view that reality is just something out there that is completely
• we're just making it up we really do make contact with reality and so the partial nature of our
• knowledge is not that it only goes part of the way towards reality it goes the whole way towards reality but only one
• of the way towards reality it goes the whole way towards reality but only one little part at a time so it's a
• and another view which is that yes we actually break through to a reality but what we see is just a part of that
• what we see is just a part of that reality because another person looking at it would see not something wholly
• no reality to generalize about completely false and because anybody who's really

• chance one has of actually encountering reality if you just look at it as a we're a projection on the screen you're
• kind of prisoners which is masking the reality is exactly the opposite of the sort of thing that coleridge and

• man with an extraordinary broad range of understanding the nature of reality he's the author of books on a number of
• the notion of flow a third on the reality of alienation and a fourth on the value of aggression
• um and blake is definitely wanting us to be in touch with reality direct through his poetry in verse but for the sake of
• um there's a huge tendency to kind of screen off reality um to fragment it and only be interested
• facets that we might have and so open us up to a wider reality and here's just some lines from jerusalem the animation
• so again note this is not about being cut off from reality it's the four faces fronting the four cardinal points going
• through the frozen heart of this dark reality i hope you can see here in botticelli's

• glass is telling you what the nature of the glass is what reality the glass represents you of course look through
• empirical engagement with the physical world means that the material reality isn't the only reality now for us but
• world means that the material reality isn't the only reality now for us but becomes a kind of portal or a channel
• um or a window onto a wider and wider reality that we can participate with too and hence maybe even see the sun as the
• of that dynamism and ultimately they can know the part of reality that time's just a reflection of which of course is

• reconsider the experience of suffering because that is a reality too and here's an image from the divine
• terrified because these bare statistics just stripped out the human reality they didn't mean to but they did increasingly
• generation the second way of trying to be aware of reality um it regards suffering as a kind of
• experiments that can in one moment dazzle us with a sense of what reality might be like in its fullness but also
• of this kind of relationship with reality you know it's about how we might know once more that the source the
• consider these thirds the triangulation of reality what's trying to be born in this thing that i feel so locked
• sense and in a way orientating us to the the reality that we've incarnated into so
• are making sense of our reality so how do we then
• use that information to then perceive the greater reality and then make sense so that if that makes sense i don't know
• very much symbolic language where it's the reality that can you see i see the right hemisphere
• can you see i see the right hemisphere as the reality because i believe that the right hemisphere is where god speaks
• believe that that it is there is a certainty involved in in the reality that
