Self, and Reality As We Can Know It

Although there are skeptics, who claim that the self is an illusion, and question whether we exist, the Divine Law holds that their skepticism, though permissible, is irrelevant. And asserts, that although we cannot prove that the self is not an illusion and that we exist—we believe that we do; and are subject to the reality we can share and experience.

The philosophy teaches that reality exists outside of our minds; and that we exist within reality. That we can intellectually question this reality’s existence, but we cannot physically divorce ourselves from it and live outside of it. It is where we are born, where we live, and where we die. We are affected by the physical laws that govern it, and all that we encounter within it.

We can doubt the reality we share and experience, but we cannot replace it. Therefore, we must regard it, as truth.
