But in truth, they are both one reality. For definitive purposes we might call one "perceptible" reality and the other "imperceptible" reality, but there is really no difference in either realities but that one is perceptible to the human eye and mind while the other is not.

Because my use of the word perceptible and imperceptible is to describe that which can be perceived with the human eye and mind without instruments.-I'm referring to instrument work. We naturally have no idea that quanta exist, because the idea of a single photon is scientific knowledge. I see light, not photons. A photon hits my retina, an ionization wave goes along the optic nerve to my brain, and the neurons in the optic area at the back of my brain tell me I've seen light. I know photons do it only from scientific research. A photon is one of the elemental particles in the universe.
