By “denial of reality” I am referring to the totality of existence. Not the reality of working a job and paying for things.

Not everyone is curious about ultimate questions like these. That’s fine, but for those of us that are curious, they are very important questions indeed.

I don't deny that they are important questions, I differ in the labeling that is most commonly used. There is some quote that go like "magic is science waiting to be discovered" or something like that. I simply wish we could replace magical wordings (or relearn them) with a `deferred` or `future` so we don't block or slow progress due to getting attached to fantastical stories.

I bring up my experience, because who measures that (the totality of existence)? There was no denial from him, because from his view point that was the totality of existence.
