Episode 125: Misplaced Reality - What is real and what is just a shadow

Misplaced Reality – what is real and what is just a shadow

We will be discussing today what does reality look like and what are just shadows. What we do in our daily life, what we think is important, in some cases, doesn’t really consider reality in its most important form.

The things that fill our attention—rituals, customs, outward forms—are often mere shadows, while the true reality is a deeper, eternal substance, unchanging and undiminished by the passing of time.

What is reality? Reality--a substance that endures when all illusions dissolve. that which is abiding, eternal, and unchangeable, the same "yesterday and to-day, and for ever" (Heb. 13:8). Reality is not subject to change. Error thoughts produce the mental and physical in harmonies called disease. These effects are not enduring and eternal. Error can be erased from the mind and be made to disappear from the body.

A shadow is a dark shape that is formed when an object blocks a source of light

Examples – When you stand outside and the sun is shining; you cast a shadow. The shadow is not the real thing; it’s just a shadow. You are the real thing. All of history leading up to Jesus was the shadow; Jesus is the genuine article, reality.

The tabernacle that Moses put up in the wilderness, the temple that Soloman constructed was a shadow pointing to the real temple, Us.
