Well yeah. In the cave, Plato says you are looking at a projection.
18th century Bengalese Saint Ramprasad, still at the apex of the Vedic
canon before the Brits took over, said that everything you see is part
of a "projected matrix" out of the mind of the Goddess.

The findings of quantum physics seems to support him. In the Bagavad
Gita it says that some of what you encounter are divinely created and
animated forms that only exist as a challenge to the fulfillment of your
kharma. Like the monsters in a 3D video game. The Gita calls these forms
"Avatars". Hello?

The thing about an Avatar, as you see so often here, is that while you
may learn from one, you cant teach him anything. He is programmed to
know what he seems to know and responds accordingly. When you exceed the
parameters of his programming ad hominum subroutines commonly kick in.

Whether you get to know the truth is a matter of your Kharma. There's no
necessity for you or anyone else to ever get it. What passes for reality
is a 3D movie that most attend without any thot at all as to why it is
being presented or how. They came to watch the show.

If you stand up to face the source of the light, you'll be somewhat
blinded and annoy those around you. But if you persist in stumbling
around in the dark, you may make it all the way back to the projection
booth. However, when you open the door, you'll see systems at work that
you do not really understand, and for which you have no nomenclature to
describe. And when you get back to your friends, if you try to explain
to them, they will tell you to sit down and shut up. They are here to
watch the show, not listen to your rantings.
