Reality is not a pinball game in search of a prize.
In search of objective reality begins and ends with God in the life cycle of a creator and a creature transformed into his reality behind the veil of mystery waiting for the rapture of love as a gift not a pinball prize.
To ask, “What is real?” or to imperatively declare “Get real!” is to search for identity in the real presence of God, not within the subjective reality that begins and ends in the mind of a fools pinball game launched into random chance of striking success as the ball becomes a target itself by set barriers that propel it into new directions in hopes of a prize only to inevitably fall helplessly back to its starting point for a new beginning with the same mindset that propelled it from the start in search of the prize.
Objective reality is in the mystery of “Other”, God is other, and in the unity of a triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we encounter him in the other before us in our presence, in the innocent child, the sacrifice of a parent, the sick, the elderly, the poor and the hungry, and more visibly in the veil of the Eucharist in silent adoration and in the unity of the assembly gathered for worship and thanksgiving as a sacrifice of love, it all becomes revealed in truth, goodness, beauty, and love, the true nature of self as an identity through him, with him, and in him, the crown of glory, a gift not a prize.
