I think what I was trying to say in the previous post (#9) was that reality, if it exists (and I suspect it does, which is why I am Christian) is a singular phenomenon. It isn't something that can be parsed into bullet points on a training outline, and doled out peicemeal to trainees. You either got it, or you don't.
God is one; there is one Spirit, even if there are myriads of "ministering spirits", and the Father and the Son are one.
Reality simply is. We cannot define it like webster's, nor can we ask its name, Moses-like. We can't find a "reality-sized box". We just know that when Jesus came near, that something inside said to us, "now you are not far from the reality itself."

Nee & Lee's "self-contained mythology" caught our attention, energies, and even our hearts for a while. The questions felt so compelling, and the answers so sure, and so comforting. But eventually reality beckoned. It always has, and always will.
