Realizations aren’t the final destinations they’re often promoted as, they’re just another kind of belief, like a depiction of a place. If the place doesn’t really exist, then a depiction is the best version of it, but if the place does really exist, then a depiction is the worst version of it. We settle for a depiction on the assumption that the place doesn’t really exist, or that we can’t really get there, but if the place is true, then it does and we can. And truth, it does not go without saying, is true. It’s not a realization. It’s the one thing that is not a belief.
