True John. Until like the Apostle Paul we "lay aside every encomberance" we cannot "run the race."

It is not easy, yet it is not complicated. Actually it is simple, all we have to do is say we are wrong. Wrong about everything including God and especially self. We have to expiunge that which sees all as experience or knowledge. Not only is the world illusory so is this I Am that experiences the world they are not separate.

You se all arises out of the carnal mind that ancient Tree of knowldge of good and evil. We talk about laying an axe to the root, but are we game to try that in every moment? Somewher opposites meet. Hegel the Philospher spoke of opposites meeting. well they do, but noy here in the known. Just see it as the gap between the frames of the film that make the movie...they come and go....withou this 'nothingness' nothing can arise. It is rather the not unreal, when we speak of reality. It is not this or that. It is no location in space and time, nor is it conceptual. The axe must be taken to the whole structure and all the sub structures. A tree has a very large network of roots to sustain it. So does the conscious mind has a large wharehouse full of ememories going right back through all our DNA ro suatain it. We cannot possibly comprehend it, we can never arrive....all we can do is lay the axe continually to the root. Especially the root of self that ever so lusts to arrive!
