Whatever is sensorially perceived is like the wrapper of the real thing, a

sample, a description,

an advertisement, a mask, merely the seemingly real outward appearance of

what lies behind.

Reality is therefore not the presence but the absence, not the positive but

the negative,

not the seen phenomena but their unseen source, not the known actual but

unknown potential.

Excessive verbal communication has become so compulsive and widespread that

it is taken

for granted as the only way to understand anything.

But real Understanding is of a different dimension altogether.
