Everything will pass (continue...)

I was more amazed about this thought:
We recognize things with our "physical five senses." However, it has always been the topic of discussion what exactly we are recognizing. Is it substantial, or is it something like a shadow? As I realize that everything passes, I could say it is like a shadow from a perspective beyond the realm of "time". Our life is like a shadow, in that sense. It is something which never lasts forever (beyond time), but which passes. However, when we think about why this shadow-like life exists, then the conclusion which many sages have already reached is that it is for the sake of our life that continues forever (beyond time). This life, which is sometimes called "spiritual life" or "eternal life" is the real substance of our existence (this exists forever, beyond time and space). For the sake of the growth and maturity of our true self which exists forever, we are given this limited life with our physical body, surrounded by "substantial (well, of course, seemingly) material world, which we can recognize through our five physical senses. Think about who set up this "physical five senses" in us? Who set up this material world the way it can be perceived by us as the way we perceive (hot, cold, hard, soft, dark, bright, smells good, looks good, beautiful, ugly, round, square, painful, etc.) Now scientists are discovering clearer and clearer that the real existence of this world is of so much more empty space than we can imagine. Such as what exactly exists between different atoms and molecules, particles, etc. so much space, but we don't sense those space with our "physical senses" Thus, we come to realize that there is slight gap between the real existence of this world and how we perceive it through our five physical senses. Therefore, the question is who set us our physical senses which perceive things the way they do? And for what purpose did he do it? It is so interesting. It makes sense to me that God had a clear purpose in doing this.

In a way, therefore, our life is like a well-made computer game, in which we need to always react to the situation correctly. If we don't react correctly, things will not happen as desired and you need to pay the price for it. But, no matter how well-made a computer game is, it is just a game anyway. Our life is similar, but it is not a game and I am the one who is in the middle. In computer game, whatever I do, I am still someone who looks at it from outside. Whatever mistake I make, I still don't feel physical pain, and I can always quit or redo, I will not die. In our life, it is very similar to computer game, but the difference is I am in the game, and if I make mistake, I need to go through real pain, even I may have to die physically. But, now think, if our life is, like I said earlier, also like a shadow, which passes, and which is for the growth of our eternal self, it is still very much like computer game. We can keep our position to be someone who is outside. I mean, we may be able to look at our lives objectively even when we are the one who actually live it, and we may find ourselves free of any kind of pain or sorrow which we may experience in our lives.

I just realized I heard something similar before. This world is like a shadow. Everything is passing. Our problem is adhering to shadow as if it is substantial. This adherence is the very cause of all kind of pain and suffering of life. If I can gain perspective about the reality of our life, then we may reach to the level of being liberated from adherence to this mortal world and enter into a realm of freedom and liberation. Didn't Buddha talked like this?
