Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
The idea "Reality does not exist," the Physics Nobel Prize won.
However, I would like to believe otherwise,
Objective reality exists, is what I surmise.
I don't believe in miracles, you see;
The enlightened eye of a higher consciousness interprets scientific unity.
Reality is a subjective phenomenon.
"Reality is relative," is said by someone.
It is subject to interpretation as observed by consciousness of each,
However, not the same levels of consciousness do all humans reach.
Matter is nothing but bundles of energy vibrating at particular frequencies,
Obeying the laws of Nature, unlike humans, who act as they please.
While animals possess a low level of consciousness within them,
Humans embody the pinnacle of life's evolutionary gem.
Animal instinct is possessed at birth,
But a human baby must realize its worth.
Like a clean slate does an infant come into the world,
The writing determined as the consciousness, soul, mind and environment unfurl'd.
If human consciousness is the quantum of charge for a charged particle,
Soul is the divine energy of the article.
The mind is the electric field associated with it,
The collection of similar charged particles exerts the environmental force on it.
From birth until a given age,
Experiences of one's choices shape the person, I gauge.
Choices, in turn, are influenced by one's learnings and will power;
Experience and lessons learnt increase wisdom hour by hour.
