Really REALITY? - Over-rated!

I think reality is over-rated.

Consider the newborn... The newborn has sight and hearing and touch and smell and taste -- and these senses are then channeled, focused, and limited as the child develops.

The newborn seems to not see since following a finger or focusing on a face is not observed. The view of some is that it is through training that the newborn begins to "see" the finger or the face that WE want it to see.

Consider the Bible.... There are animals and plants and things all of which become real when Adam names them. The naming process focus's our attention on something about the cow or horse or apple or rose. Before they are named do they exist? Yes but the naming of them conceptualizes them for all of us to see together. The naming gives us the ability to "see" or "smell" or "hear" or "touch" or "taste" in the way we do today as we share our experiences. Without names communication to share  information is not possible.

Things UNnamed remain. Light IS named in the Bible and was known for a long time as something basic and simple. Today scientists have discovered and named complexities associated with light and now there is much more to the sun, the moon, and all sources of light. The world is a richer place, I think.

Reality is over-rated. What we know now to be reality is not everything that is. THERE IS MORE....!!!  And to "sense" that MORE is possible with science and art ... or artful science... or scientific art or faith and G-d.
