Mysterious Reality

My husband and I, albeit five steps behind everyone else, recently finished watching the entire Lost series. I must say we weren't completely satisfied with the last episode.  We felt like we were just left hanging on a plethora of fraying loose ends with no hope of reaching the solid ground of firm answers.  After this experience we decided we'd make our own TV show called, Found, in which everything going on in the show is painfully obvious, explained in triplicate with flannel board illustrations and flow charts, leaving no room for questions on what the next turn of the plot would be.  I'm not sure such a show would be much of a hit, but at least it would leave people with a strong sense of security in knowing exactly what is happening in the show instead of leaving them in agonizing suspense.  The only problem with writing such a show is, reality, with all its complications.
I've been pondering on reality a lot lately.  Its an intriguing subject for me, especially since my struggle with mental illness lead me out of the realm of reality several times.  Talk about a blow, when coming back to yourself you realize you've totally been living in your own little world, totally out of touch with what was really happening.  It was devastating to have to face that truth the first time it happened and it lead to a lot of confusion.  I felt like I could no longer trust myself to fully grasp reality so I began to always question my thoughts and perceptions on things.  The most serious area of my life this affected was my relationship with God, I would question Him, "Are You really showing me this or telling me this, God, or am I just losing it again"?  Satan really used this to perpetrate doubt in my mind and lead me out of obedience to God.
When you think about it though, reality isn't that easy of a thing to fully understand.  There are so many intricacies that we are wont to look into but can't.  We can't look into other people's hearts or minds when evaluating a situation.  We can't know every detail leading up to an event or what the consequences will be of every action.  Let's face it, sometimes, often times even, how we perceive reality isn't exactly spot on.  That's not to say that we can't have a general idea of what's going on, but really, if we want to be honest, we're more often way out in left field than we are in the game.  That's because, due to our own choices, we suffer frequent disconnect with the only True Reality, i.e., God.  Jesus is the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life.  What can be more real than the Truth.  What can be more insane than living without Him.  Of course, if you're a believer you're always in touch just perfectly, no willful, defiant behavior there.  If only.  The clue phone is ringing, pick it up.
