~ Mr Han from The Karate Kid.
"Reality has two halves, like two halves of an orange. You do not have the whole orange unless you have both parts. One part is normally seen, and the other normally unseen.
I would suggest that this maybe illustrated by two chairs The men who sit in these chairs look at the universe in two different ways. We are all sitting in one or the other of these chairs at every single moment of our lives. The first man sits in his chair and faces this total reality of the universe, the seen part and normally unseen part, and consistently sees truth against this background. The Christian sits in this chair.
The unbeliver, however, is the man who sits in the other chair, intellectually. He sees only the natural part of the universe and interprets truth against that background. Let us see that these two positions cannot both be true. One is true: one is false."
