Real or Illusory?

Are things real? Are terms like "Love", "Transcendence", "Truth", etc. representative of something or merely empty and devoid of substance? Is the universe a vast Matrix of Void and nihilism, or is there actually an ineffable, ultimate "Truth" so utterly nearby, so unnoticed that it appears to not even exist? Can we "know" anything at all? Is reading books really gaining knowledge or is the realm of the intellect actually composed of ignorance and limitation? Does the fact that languages and sense perceptions are limited signify that there is nothing beyond these towards which they strive? Can this actually be attained by a human and can we really say so until we have had the experience ourselves?! We explore these hefty existential areas & clarify subtle fallacies in our discovery of the Soul.
