A better view of reality

Robert G. Lawrence

The hydraulic valves with their huge pistons moved in and out at the command of a computer program. They tossed the seat up and down and to and fro in concert with a sound-and-color movie playing in the adventurer's headset. What a marvelous example of the ability of illusions to fool the physical senses, even when the participant is conscious of the intent! This virtual reality machine taught me a useful lesson.

An intriguing question came to thought as I watched another eager participant getting strapped into a chair that would soon be gyrating in all directions. The question was, "Is there a reality that is wholly dependable, completely devoid of danger, totally satisfying and health-giving as well as eternal?"

The answer is yes! Spiritual insight replaces human illusion with reality. This reality is spiritual and eternal. It is the one true reality—God's creation. And there is no other.
