Yeah I agree. Sort of. But what Jesus showed us is that our imaginations are more powerful than most of us are willing to believe. Is love real? Are ideas real? Can you show me an idea? Can you shake its hand? Can you study it under a microscope? I don’t think there’s a guy out there running things but when I meditate, when I pray, when I imagine I’m having a conversation with a version of myself that exists without limitations, that knows the answers to everything, that fears nothing, that’s filled with love and wisdom and power…and I converse with this imaginary person, my life improves, my attitude improves, my behaviors improve, my skills improve, and my faith increases and I work literal miracles. So real in the modern sense or not, I wouldn’t care less, because the idea is there, and the exercise of communing with that idea works and there’s simply no denying that. And I feel sorry for anybody who can’t see and embrace that.
