REALITY AND
REALITIES: When once one has understood that there are as many worlds as
separate species, one will begin to comprehend how diverse the so-called 'real
world' actually is, to comprehend its diversity in terms of numerous realities,
as opposed to just a single human reality compounded of specific shapes and
manifestations of life.
Thus one can speak, for example, in terms
of cat reality, mouse reality, pigeon reality, frog reality, shark reality,
wasp reality, owl reality, etc., in addition to human reality which, in its
legitimate desire for world-wide integration and strict categorization of all
existing phenomena, regularly overlooks the various realities confronting other
creatures in order to maintain and safeguard its own perspective.
Finally, however, one must break the
realities of the different species down into the tiny fragments which
correspond to each particular life, thereby arriving at individual reality, the
world within a world or, more specifically, the reality within realities.
