Two Channels
There are two channels on life’s TV. On one plays a fantasy; the other is reality.
The fantasy is a world that imagines itself to be its own truth, where nothing is of intrinsic value and everything else functions by the rules of chance and necessity.

The reality of life is a world in which you stand face to face before the Director of this grand drama. But your story is not this drama. It is this intimate relationship of you with the Director.
