Very intriguing post, thanks for this.
Lately I tend to avoid discussions of certain topics, but not because I have any fear of 'challenging conversations' (hopefully demonstrated by my responses in this post) and more because I detect dogmatic biases in certain people that preclude productive debate of any kind.

(Not that I believe you fall into this category, just figured I'd give an example of occasions where avoiding discussion is the most prudent/desired/effective approach.)
Anyway, on to the body of your lovely post. The nature of reality has long been discussed, debated, argued, and more, but it seems less and less so for much of society. Every time I see someone exploring it I smile, because if someone is taking the time to dig deeper beyond what is observable on the surface --whether their understandings are extremely accurate or not-- I take it as a very positive sign.
Many of the things I express, share, and teach are 'better received' by people able to think clearly and critically, and willing to absorb what I offer with a 'good heart', while at the same time exploring the subject matter (and the nature of reality) for themselves.
I guess what I'm saying is I'm thrilled you think about these things, and share them. The world could use more of that, in my opinion. Thank you. :) 🙏
Thanks for your insights and kind words, Ryze! ~ 🙏 ~
