The understanding of reality varies in degrees of abstraction. All knowledge is a graduated training of the mind. From the perceptible and concrete, we gradually refine our understanding to more abstract and higher levels of knowledge.
The Self can exist apart from the body.
The body is a mental projection. In deep sleep you exist without the body. Upon waking, the ego arises, and then the mind comes into existence; it is that which projects the body.
~ Ramana Maharshi.
Munger: "It's so simple: you spend less than you earn. Invest shrewdly. Avoid toxic people & toxic activities. Try to keep learning all your life and do a lot of deferred gratification.
If you do all of those things, you are almost certain to succeed. And if you don't, you're going to need a lot of luck. And you don't want to need a lot of luck. You want to go into a game where you're very likely to win without having any unusual luck."

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
-- R. Feynman
We know that every time a human being makes real progress in consciousness, makes this evolutionary jump toward a higher level of consciousness, the whole world for him has changed; relationships change and the outlook on the outer world and on his own situation changes~von Franz
“…Of the various impossibility proofs, only those concerned with local causality seem now to retain some significance outside special formalisms. The de Broglie-Bohm theory is not a counter example in this case. Indeed it was the explicit representation of quantum nonlocality in that picture which started a new wave of investigation in this area. Let us hope that these analyses also may one day be illuminated, perhaps harshly, by some simple constructive model.
However that may be, long may Louis de Broglie continue to inspire those who suspect that what is proved by impossibility proofs is lack of imagination.”
– John Stewart Bell, On the impossible pilot wave (1982).
Before he unified electricity and magnetism, James Clerk Maxwell deeply studied the stability of Saturn’s rings. In 1859, he mathematically proved that the rings could not be solid or fluid but had to consist of numerous small particles — a result that was only observationally confirmed more than a century later by spacecraft!

“A person's worth is hidden behind their tongue, not their gold. Look at how they speak to the broken, the small, and the silent, for that is where the soul reveals its true face.”
