Re-viewing II Life One: Part A | Under the Stars: Re-Enhancing Reality

What’s more real; the soul or the world?

The essentiality of the Live Two was mainly evoked by multiple journeys of the Soul. Under the name Pythagorean Philosopher,he—actually the Soul—started his master plans by a boundtrips to East and contrived to bring the ‘wisdom’ back to the West where he had promised to meet his Guru. The motive behind those boundtrips was synthesizing the East and the West upon which, in his spiritual philosophical hopes, the wisdom will rise on the surface of both continents.

The travel and the rest, change and changelessness, the relative and absolute also play on its roles.[i] The travel and the rest mirrors specifically that Soul will always be in the mode of searching, haunting when the rest itself is needed in terms to take space from the “real” that he got from travels. Change and changelessness are somehow relevant to the process of facing the reality itself, in which, the Pythagorean Philosopher should confront the annoyance and chagrin of his father yet the only people to whom he believes are his mother and younger sister. Finally, man, in particular, should be dealing with the relativism of reality and simultaneously achieve for the absolute/universality that beyond reality.
