In general terms, man is regarded as living in an unreal world of illusory values that he's imposed on himself. He's feeling his way by evolution back to God-realization and the illusion is broken away, bit by bit. You need the illusions until you reach very pure saintly states. When you lose all contact with your illusory state, you become totally dead-but totally aware. You've died for the last time. You don't incarnate again-you just blend. It's the realization of what we all intellectually know-universal consciousness-but it's no good to know until you can actually realize it.
Tommy's real self represents the aim-God and the illusory self with teacher; life, the way the path and all this.
-Pete Townsend on Tommy
Friggin' trippy man.
