some common definitions of the word realize:
- To comprehend completely or correctly.
- To bring into reality; make real: He finally realized his lifelong ambition to learn how to play the violin.
- To make realistic: a film that realizes court life of the 17th century.
- To obtain or achieve, as gain or profit: She realized a substantial return on the investment.
- To bring in (a sum) as profit by sale.
i like to combine the first two definitions to get:
realize: to understand by making something real
how do we realize things in our life... like dreams, ambitions, love, friendship, environment (non-tactile)... and how do we realize god, how do we make god real, how do we comprehend god, something that is, by definition, undefinable.
now that is a great paradox.
