Fantasy Posts: Substitutes Knowing - (3690)

To be awake is to adhere to reality. even though I am not awake, I think that we can't argue with that statement. 

When we decide to work on fantasy we find ourselves telling ourselves: "I really don't know", "I can't know", "that won't happen", "highly unlikely", "get real".

This is because fantasy always fills in the gaps and comes up with an idea, an explanation, a theory, something... 

We see something and then fantasy does its job creating things, this and that and all sorts of things.

What we do then is buy into it or take it on board or worse - believe it. Then after we have entertained it, we think that we know but that is certainly not the case. 

So fantasy is a mechanism always of compensation. In this case it is used to compensate for not having our consciousness present and therefore not being able to know.

While we are trying ot awaken our consciousness we just have to put up with not knowing anything all the time. But it is what is true and being in the truth is better than believing and living in falsehood.
