Real is Not-real again

It is a fully recognised features of experience that to really feel acquainted with someone or something we need to get our hands on. We need first hand experience. This is what makes things Real to us.

However if things are not Real enough until we have first hand experience, then there is an irony that the very first-person nature of Real things means that they are only Real to us! In this sense they are Un-real is a larger sense!

This I argued that Real is really Un-real!

This is not to say that we take our experience as anything but fully Real. Afterall we have nothing but our experience. The point is that the very Realness is conditioned and so is Un-real in an absolute way.

I have experienced the death and also the birth of many people recently. It is most amazing that I have not see in this process the complete conditionality of human existence. We come and we go. I come and I go.

More through the Real/Un-Real window I have seen the boundary of myself. The limitation present in everything from my experiences, to the very nature of personal experience itself. Everything is limited and the true "Reality" is this.

There is a boundary around our existences. It does not have anything outside that boundary however, it is like a folded piece of paper which goes back to where it started. At the center things are both Real and Unreal and all the dualisms. And the self is nothing but the conditioned centre of this.
