Many people have a keen interest in arguing about the reality and existence of other worlds and realms, and whether or not they are mere imaginations of the mind. Any such arguments are based on a premise that our own existence is real. When we believe ourselves to be real, we conclude that the world, as seen, is also real.
Therefore if we judge ourselves to be unreal, it follows along accordingly that all worlds and realms must be unreal as well. Yet, why debate such matters? What we have is what we have. The traveler who must cross a raging river now does not worry about crossing the mountains much later. The Tao is grounded in reality, not fantasy. Our minds must be in tune with the Tao to be grounded as well. It is only when well grounded, that we can achieve oneness with the universe, real or imagined.
