Invisible world - the visible world would not exist without it

10/08/2010

A few days ago you met a friend, who was very much alive. But since then, they have had an accident, and now you see them laid out on a bed, dead. It is still the same person, but something invisible has left them, something that allowed them to walk, speak, think and love. And you can place all the food and treasures in the world next to them and say, 'It's all yours, be happy!' there's nothing doing, they won't move. How, then, can one question the existence of the invisible world? If for us the world exists, if we can see the sky and the sun, it is thanks to this invisible principle in us that allows us to discover them by means of these visible instruments, our eyes. If this invisible principle were not there, the fact that we had eyes would be of no use; we wouldn't be able to see. The visible world is merely the outer wrapping for the invisible world, and without the invisible world we could know nothing of what exists around us.
