Keeping It Real in an Unreal World

…Inthis book, Keeping it Real in an Unreal World, Michael Jean Nystrom-Schutexamines the reality of illusion (or the illusion of reality?). He talks abouthow we can come to pursue our best efforts at finding something that resemblesa path through the foggy haze of an earth-dwellers life, and the fuzzy twistsand turns and convolutions of existence.Ifour voyage is one of expectation, our reality will become just that. Its aperceptual thing; how we each perceive it is a highly individual matter. If youkeep an open mind, Michael's promise is that rewards will come out of yourenthusiastic reading participation. Dontassume you know anything whatsoever about real life; it goes better for us whenwe think of it like that. In reality, each day we start out new, and each newday presents itself with an entirely new set of illusions.Insorting out the illusions, we have the chance to make things happen in ourlives. Thebook is presented in five sections. To begin with, in Section One the wholematter of reality and illusion is examined. The next section talks about theindividual self, and what reality means to him. Thethird section explores reality close to home, in the lives of our mind, andwith our friends and family. SectionFour moves into the outer world, where a global view of reality is addressed. Finally,in the last section (Five), Michael takes on the great and perennialmetaphysical questions, doing his best to apply the human notions of God andUniverse to the world of the thinking self. Michaeladmits he is only sharing thoughts on how he narrowly see things. You willhopefully have your own spin on reality, different from everyone else in theworld. Keeping it real comes in many shapes, sizes and colors. Each of us looksat it uniquely, and what you are about to experience in this book is merely onetiny sliver of reality perspective.Whenyou are finished reading the book, it is Michael's hope that you will havegiven more consideration to the matter of whats real and not real foryourself. And that you will take valuable living information from it. Reality. Its a funny thing. How we negotiate our way through it goes a long waystowards whether we adapt or fail in our experiences and encounters with life. Enjoyyour journey, both through the book, and through life!
