Reality theater
or theater reality
what’s the difference
is there a difference
one may be known
the other less so
as plain delusion
or appearances
but then we are
a reality that is
here and now
thus come
and gone
always present
preferably conscious
with the divine
heart all real
awareness
of the choice
in total freedom
in a passing show
throughout worlds
of mind and matter
graced with insights
what’s most essential
in our loving heart.

Reality theater — illusion and conscious yearning
“We live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality; we are that reality. When we understand this, we see that we are nothing; and being nothing, we are everything.”
— 1st Kalu Rinpoche quoted by Joseph Goldstein — public talk in Bern, Switzerland, Aug. 2025
“To define the most important thing is the most important thing. It is the first step. Until you do, your life does not even belong to you.”
“We come to spiritual practice because the deeper reality is already arising, and the first way it arises into our consciousness is as the spiritual drive itself and as the yearning. Yearning may not be the fruition of enlightenment, it may not be the recognition of enlightenment, but it is the arising of it. If it was not beginning to arise into consciousness, we would not have any yearning at all, and we would not care.”
— Adyashanti, The most important thing — discovering truth at the heart of life, pp. 8 and 40
