About Reality

Dear Gudo Wafu Nishijima,

Learning from your answers is great benefit,thank you! My questions are as follows.

Q.1: Is there an absolute Reality and a relative ?

A.1: Reality is always an absolute one only.

Q.2: Does every process with different and opposite directions has to come to an
equilibrium (plus/minus=zero) to enter Reality?

A.2: No, I don't think so. The equilibrium is just related with the human autonomic nervous system, and so it is impossible for us to expand it another area.

Q.3: How does intuition function in a balanced state of equilibrium? What is it?

A.3: The intuition teaches us the Truth at once. That is only a simple fact.

Q.4: What is a mind like a mirror?

A,4: A mind is mental function, for example consideration, perception, or intuition.

Thank you! Best wishes

Dear Siegfried Hohlfeld,

My answers to your questions are as follows.

Q.1: Is there an absolute Reality and a relative ?

A.1: Reality is always absolutely only one.

Q.2: Does every process with different and opposite directions has to come to an equilibrium (plus/minus=zero) to enter Reality?

A.2: The equilibrium is only the state of the autonomic nervous system, and so it only occurs in the state of ANS.

Q.3: How does intuition function in a balanced state of equilibrium? What is it?

A.3: The intuition is just a fanction,which works when ANS is balanced, and so it is a simple fact, which can not be explained with reason.

Q.4: What is a mind like a mirror?

A.4: A mirror is a figulative expression of a mental function, and so it is imposible for us to explain mind with words.


Thank you very much for your exact and adequate questions.
