mm: If you can feel it with your senses, it is real. If you can't use your senses to feel it, it isn't real. But some folks insist that something that can't be felt CAN be real. That's fine, it is their opinion.
Q: Even when you feel it, that doesn't make it real.
mm: If you feel it, it is real, albeit to you alone. Say, if a girl pretends to love you but she really doesn't, and you get fooled. But you feel the love (by the way, where is the source of the love?) Is the love you feel real or is it fake---unreal? You tell me.
Q: Fake can be real, if you don't kow that it's fake. If you know that it is fake, then it's not real anymore. Real or unreal is really is just a concept too.
Q: mm, You have problems with your wife?
mm: No real problems, only fake ones.
What is real may become fake later? Luckily, later is a just a concept, because the only time we really have is NOW, so the feelings you have NOW are real.
We often refer to dreams as not real, yet while we are dreaming, they are real. Sure dreams aren't real, for sure, but when you are talking about a dream, you are in the waking state, and the dream is always in the PAST.
How do you know you are not dreaming NOW? Everything seems so real, isn't it?
