reality

Men in general are as much affected by what a thing appears to be as by what it is, indeed they are frequently influenced more by appearances than by reality.

People debate over whether or not there is a literal Hell, in the literal sense often described as fire and eternal torture, which, to many, seems to be too harsh a punishment. If men really want to fear something, they should be fearing separation from God, the supposedly more comforting alternative to a literal Hell. For separation from the authorship of love, mercy, and goodness is the ultimate torture. If you think a literal Hell sounds too bad, you are very much underestimating the pain of being absolutely, wholly separated from the goodness while exposed to the reality of the holiness of God.

The best way to live in this real world is to free ourselves of demons and tribal gods.

The real world is oftentimes different from what you expect it to be, what you think it to be, and what people might say it to be.

Reality was dawning on him and he hated reality. If you were him, so would you.

Some churches, sects, cults or religious movements are basically collective egoic entities, as rigidly identified with their mental positions as the followers of any political ideology that is closed to any alternative interpretation of reality.

Happiness is an inner perception, not a reality.

Imagination should be used, not to escape reality, but to create it.

When people are facing real hardships in their lives, they have no time to invent imaginary ones.

Reality, it seems, is not a flat plane, but has as many veils as an onion has skins.

That__ the trouble with memories: everything seems much more fantastical with a childhood lens to filter out the limitations of reality.

Live in your dream and then make it your reality.

Reality is only a dream, based on values and well worn principles, whereas the dream goes on forever.

It's always comforting to tell yourself things are going to be alright, because even if a part of you senses that you're lying, it's comforting to shut it out- shut out reality and pretend- because pretending is nice.

When God __aves_ people in this life, by working through His Spirit to bring them to faith, and by leading them to follow Jesus in discipleship, prayer, holiness, hope and love, such people are designed _ it isn__ too strong a word _ to be a sign and foretaste of what God wants to do for the entire cosmos. What__ more, such people are not just to be a sign and foretaste of that ultimate __alvation_; they are to be part of the means by which God makes this happen in both the present and the future.

Reality wasn't as important as people made it out to be; to Jude it was simply the physical state in which he found himself, an environment he had limited control over.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, but there is everything wrong with dreaming without any intention to make the dream a reality.

Like the very quantum particles we study, we must be comfortable allowing our view of the world to exist in superposition.
