A Return to Romantic Realism.

If idealism means that consciousness is all that exists and that the material world and science is an illusion then I definitely do not want to be considered an idealist but instead a romantic realist. And with romantic realism I mean the understanding that Self is all that exists and that the material world is really Self celebrating itself as differentiated for Companionship commonly known as Love. There is as such no illusion in the sense we mistakenly tend to understand it but rather a Self veiling of sorts for the purpose of Self companionship i.e. Self love. Knowing this, that all this is Self and that the purpose of Self is Love, is according to me absolute science.
