Let it occur to you today to consider
how much of your landscape, external and
internal,
Is based on fantasy in any form.
Let it further occur to you to consider
your response to the unavailability of
each of the forms of fantasy you have identified
as components of your life—
Bearing in mind that because you have been trained since
infancy to substitute one for another smoothly
you may not readily be aware from moment to moment
what is fantastic and what is not,
and the idea of your having experience in dealing with the unavailability of fantasy
may be alien to you.
Let it now occur to you—let it never stop occurring to you—
to ask yourself how and why you came to be taught
to so desperately hunger for the unreal.
Let it occur to you now and always
to discover what awaits you
in Life lived in understanding
What Is.
