There is a line drawn in empty space

While looking for words to explain the difference and similarities between fantasy and reality I found more words to explain the similarities then words to describe the differences. Being of Zen mind at the time I knew everything is fantasy and reality, in as far as it exists for but a brief moment and is not to be explained in words.

I found this “diagram” in Zen and the ways by Trevor Leggett, it explains it far better then I could.
The diagram below is not a diagram, but only an indication: the existence of the line itself is merely theoretical.



Above that line, the absolute is actual
and the world of distinctions only theoretical



Below that line, the world of distinctions is actual
and the absolute only theoretical

got it? good!
