Feeling God in Its Undefinable Qualities

It is possible for this quality of realness to be felt on its own and seen as entirely independent of objects or the world. In fact, the reality of objects is derived from the illusive but all-pervasive quality of realness that stands on its own, much like when a field of light can illumine an arrangement of objects and make them visible.

As in a projection on the screen, both the projection and the screen seem to coincide, but the reality of the screen is distinct from that of the film and the events in it. The screen is not something in the film, but it must be there and become anonymous for us to be able to experience the film. … More Reflections on The Nature of Reality
