Awareness 2

If our actions does not fit with reality, there are problems. In situations where humans are involved there are many problems.

For example, of all human activity called work, a lot is supposed to cause problems (military activities) a lot is supposed the lessen natural problems (of health, social problems, catastrophes, accidents, natural deterioration, climate, environment) and only little activity is outright positive. The number of teachers is small and food production is secured by two percent of the population.   

We normally live in our dream world rather than in a factual reality. There are many reasons. We stick to our own ideas even if they are faulty. There is no inherent way to see the difference between dream and reality. We like the dream world more than the factual situation.

One very common "dream" we have is that we live in an external, material world. The truth is that there are material things in reality, and reality is much bigger than our standard idea of who I am.

We are involved in a very subtle cooperation between our inner world and the outer world. If we feel that the outer world is the most real one, we are likely to get problems of violence and brutality.

If we feel that reality can be formed after our soft dreams, we are likely to be disappointed. The reality is formed by our visions, however. To realize visions is usually a harder task than to make a statue from a block of stone.
