| The universe certainly is strange, but to the average rationally minded individual, nothing is stranger, no concept can be more bizarre and inexplicable, than the claims of the mytics that another plane of being exists that is literally more real than the reality of the material universe. The transcendent reality they describe, in fact, would absorb the material world, along with the subjective self that percieves it, into the spiritual All, or the mystical Nothing, depending upon your metaphysical point of view. -Newberg, Why God Won't Go Away |
