A common error people make who are going through an awakening is to reach the conclusion that the world is not real. This happens when one is only 99% awakened to the true nature of the self, the oneself, the enlight. So. It is not that the world is not real (for it is); it is that the world is in reality self (the word) not wanting to be by itself and that the purpose of self is companionship, friendship, love. Love is the fundamental nature of reality. Reality is self desiring love.
