Mapping Reality

We must clearly distinguish between reality (the territory), and what
we perceive to be reality (the map of the territory)! In our journey
through life, we need something to guide us, to give us reassurance
that we are on the right track. Modern science has done its best to take
that reassurance away from us, telling us that there is no destination,
no purpose, in life, and that in effect our lives are an accident of
'Nature'. Religion, too, has become equally unhelpful: it has become
dogmatic, sectarian, and self-serving. We have lost the core, the real
message, of religion, but we still need true spirituality. Indeed, we need
a map to the Truth.
