		<description>Something about this entry kind of confused me, and it was this:

&quot;The thought about something is not the same as the experience of something, so a philosophical argument is mostly a mental exercise. It is not real. The real experience in such a discussion is usually tension in the body for those participating or sometimes a liberation of stuck energy when insights lead to a shift in perspective.&quot;

Then later on you see

&quot;And finally, a peeve. There are schools of thought that dis the material world as inferior, illusionary or unreal. Please understand my point of view: I believe those teachings are missing Mr. Huge Point.&quot;

I definitely agree with the second point there, but I think that all parts of the triad are very real and very divine and evolve together, the experience, the thought, and the union of both - knowing and being. I don&#039;t understand what is &quot;unreal&quot; about having a philosophical argument. I think that all the experiences, mental, emotional, and physical, area part of the bigger experience that is &quot;having this argument&quot;, and the more aware one is to each one of those and how they are connected, the more thoroughly you can process it for growth, defining yourself, defining your view of the world and how you feel about it, or whatever happens. Simply being able to be so connected shows that you are already highly on your way. 

I guess what this sums up to is that I believe that there is no unreality.

Everything is real.</description>
