REALITY AND SENSES
The sight:
Who can touch light?
no mass, traveling the universe
It only has meaning to us
because our eyes can transform it
into images of things on which light reflects
What makes it so real?
What if we didn’t have eyes?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all blind
by the same light we think
makes us see
Light is the consequence
of physics laws applied
What is its main component?
The light is what follows
everything that came to existence
What if things that didn’t,
and therefore are not restrict by physics laws,
don’t produce or reflect it?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all blind
by the same light we think
makes us see
The hearing:
Who can touch sound?
no mass, traveling the universe
It only has meaning to us
because our ears can transform it
into tunes produced by movement
What makes it so real?
What if we didn’t have ears?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all deaf
by the same sound we think
makes us hear
Sound is the consequence
of physics laws applied
What is its main component?
The sound is what follows
everything that came to existence
What if things that didn’t,
and therefore are not restrict by physics laws,
don’t produce it?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all deaf
by the same sound we think
makes us hear
The touch:
And what if we touch?
human feeling, traveling the body
It only has meaning to us
because our nerves can transform stimuli
interpreted somehow by our brain
What makes it so real?
What if we couldn’t really feel?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all frigid
by the same touch we think
makes us feel
Touching is the consequence
of physics laws applied
What is its main component?
The touch is what follows
living creatures that came to existence
What if things that didn’t,
and therefore are not restrict by physics laws,
are not bound to it?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all frigid
by the same touch we think
makes us feel
The smell:
And what if we smell?
human feeling, traveling the body
It only has meaning to us
because our nerves can transform stimuli
interpreted somehow by our brain
What makes it so real?
What if we couldn’t really feel?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all anosmic
A consequence of the smelling we think
makes us feel
Smelling is the consequence
of physics laws applied
What is its main component?
Smelling is what follows
living creatures that came to existence
What if things that didn’t,
and therefore are not restrict by physics laws,
are not bound to it?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all anosmic
A consequence of the smelling we think
makes us feel
The taste:
And what if we taste?
human feeling, traveling the body
It only has meaning to us
because our nerves can transform stimuli
interpreted somehow by our brain
What makes it so real?
What if we couldn’t really taste?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all ageusic
A consequence of the tasting we think
makes us feel
Tasting is the consequence
of physics laws applied
What is its main component?
Tasting is what follows
living creatures that came to existence
What if things that didn’t,
and therefore are not restrict by physics laws,
are not bound to it?
Deep down…
Deep down inside ourselves…
we are all ageusic
A consequence of the smelling we think
makes us feel
Is it our senses what create reality?
Or is it they what interpret it?
Would there be a distinction between
creating or interpreting it?
I humbly think
There are more things to reality, my friend
than are felt by our earthly senses
…
Wise are those who don’t neglect their ethereal soul
Wise are those who die for themselves
Wise are those who think of the eternal goal

Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." (John 20.29)
