Most of us are familiar with the avatar concept. When we play on the Wii or visit 2nd Life, we move and act through an avatar body. This "body" represents the "real us" while we interact in our imaginary world. It's easy to make the distinction between the real me and the avatar me because the avatar me isn't real and I KNOW it is just a tiny little representation of me.
But is it any more real than the physical body we mistakenly call Self? We understand the concept of Soul animating Self. We hear the sage-philosopher saying this world is an illusion. We have scientific theory about a Holographic universe yet we fail to assimilate, or even grasp the notion, that we are so much more to us than this body. Much like mistaking the image in a mirror for the "real" thing, we've minimalized our True Divine Essence to a Wii me. Who's got the re-set button?
