But those who know the Real is, and know the unreal is not, they shall indeed reach the Truth, safe on the path of right thought.

The illusion and the Reality
Those who think the unreal is,and think the Real is not, they shall never reach the Truth, safe on the path of right thought.

There are two kinds of minds
With the two types of views there are two kinds of minds. As human beings, we all have what we could call ordinary minds - the mind that you’ve always assumed you’ve had. It’s calculating mind, a discriminating mind, a fragmented mind. It’s the mind of ordinary consciousness, the mind of self and other. We generally think of it as ‘my mind’.
But there’s another mind that is unborn, ungrown, and unconditioned. Unlike ‘your mind’, it’s unbound, for there is nothing beyond it. To this Mind, there is no ‘other mind’.
This Mind is nothing other than the Whole. It’s simply thus, the fabric of the world itself - the ongoing arising and falling away that are matter, energy, and events.
This Mind is self-evident - it’s always switched on, so to speak. We can - and, in fact, we do - see It in every moment. If we would only refrain from stirring our minds and let our conceptualizing die down, like the ripples on a pond after the stirring wind has ceased, we would realize - we would know - Mind directly.
All we ever find is the arising and ceasing of the world as it has come to be now. When you snap your fingers it’s already gone. All that persists is thus. Thus is not an object of mind but Mind Itself. There is only this eternal arising and ceasing - but there’s no thing that comes or goes. This is our actual experience from moment to moment. If we would just see, just rely on perception alone, we’d see the ongoing arising and ceasing of the world as it has come to be now - and all our confusion about the nature of existence would vanish instantly.

Our construction of Reality is limited by our five senses
We have fashioned a truth by questioning our five senses working together; but perhaps we need to harmonize the contributions of eight or ten senses if we are ever to know, with certainty, what Truth is in essence.
