Reality is infinite.

Experience is a crude abstraction of this.

Descriptions are a crude abstraction of experience.

We are taught to think as follows:

The description — is the experience — is the reality.

Thus ‘my description is equal to my experience’.

And ‘my experience is equal to reality’.

In this fashion a mere DESCRIPTION, leaps up the orders of the cognitive ladder, swallowing first the person, then the universe. It then parades around proudly, demanding fealty, defense, and conversion of others to its banner.

It is as if a drawing of a matchstick has somehow been elected president of a nation. But 99.9% of humans nearly -always- use their minds this way.

What choice do we have¿

We must remain conscious of abstracting.

Experience -is not- reality, which has infinite features not abstracted into experience.

The description -is not- experience, which has infinite features not abstractable or abstracted into the description.

And finally, the description is no more reality than the idea of a drawing of a line is the sun and all its effects. These orders are distinct. They should -never- be collapsed.
