That is the paradox of life in which we think we are and therefore must think to be, while in I AM we just are. This is where a jump-shift is made from Yang to Yin in the merger of two opposites that Hardy wrote about in this poem that takes place inside the mind of man:

This poem tell us that the collision course is real as designed by the Immanent Will, in time, for which a life-houseboat is needed to collide. And so the event is real as presented here between two opposites that humans carry about from day to day in which the
Spinner of the Years says "NOW," and not the evangelist to say.
Then if you wonder why they burn churches in China every second day because proselytizing is not allowed, it would follow that the best is yet to come for them (just to bring the cows home here).

Perception are mere images that the beholder must actuate to understand, and that is achieved when the apple is identified as the reason why we think that our experiences are real.
How does one ‘know’ that “perceptions are mere images…”? How does one “identify” this apple “as the reason…”?
Doesn't it take experiences (thoughts, feelings, or sensory experiences) to ‘know’ or ‘identify’? If so, then what is really real? What is first and foremost? EXPERIENCES are.
Therefore, it is the ‘experience’ (of the apple) that is real. The reality of the apple is undetermined, and can only be assumed via pure speculation.
Experiences is what loads our Camel as we set out in the journey of life towards the oasis that we see, and if we do not see that on our own as the 'little big shiner' in our private domain in which we think we are, it will be woman in us who sends us in that direction via the Determinate cause in us. That so is in which we are created equal with the same destiny in mind. So
created equal means only with destiny in mind that in this way is the same for all, and that will be ours in the Spinner of Years that we cannot avoid because our days are numbered, so we say, and keep track on the calendar so we can celebrate as the years go by and we have good cause to celebrate.
And of course we are ambitious and we do very well, each in our own, and as determinant you say that our experiences are real, and will swear by that to say, but in effect are only relevant to our domain and we make the most of it while we can. I fully agree with you, and that is how Titanic's are build by design in our own way, but nevertheless are set on that same collision course in life because we also have destiny in mind and therefore count our days.
So then as camel jockey the time will come that this camel must be converted into lion and that is what this collision at sea is all about. From there we become the lion as the solitary individual to find the oasis on our own -- and here now the idea that "God has no grand children" comes to mind and so we will be on our own. In any event, that is how I see it to be for us (and then I sometimes wonder what the evangelical wing is all about, as in "I am a credit to his name?" (the f#cking idiot I say, while he is actually fornicating people to that great commission in their own life, and that is what burning churches in China is all about)).
Sorry, I am not violent, but just wonder why China/Russia and USA/the West are so very different in this respect.
