One of the fascinating things about our minds is its ability to see things that are not there.  We see things through the filter of our mind which pulls from past information and clouds the view through which we are witnessing.  Then there are the stories we create in our minds to add meaning to the picture which is why our account of what we are seeing is different from the person sitting next to us.  Essentially our minds are these tremendous movie producers.  To bring ourselves into the reality of what is happening we need to take away some of the excess.  All the other elements are not bad, but they are not real.  God encourages us to stay in reality and turn to him for the production.  We like to add the drama and the fantastical and it stays in our minds that way.  God wants us to be with the reality of what is happening so we can experience the truth of the simple beauty of our lives from moment to moment.  When we are with reality we are closer to love and light.  We approach life with an innocence of heart and pureness of spirit traveling faster than any fantastical story we can create.  The reality of love is powerful and piercing to our hearts and one we are not likely to be the same after experiencing.
