     Here is the crux of the difference.

     Most people want to 'see things as they are'.

     They fully expect that things will be still standing after they
do.  They want things to stand in their true light etc.

     They don't understand that seeing something in its true light
will result in total vanishment a moment afterwards.  This whole idea
is totally alien to them.  They don't expect truth to 'destroy'
things.

     Well they don't want to destroy or vanish things, only bad
things, so they expect and want things to remain standing after they
have "found out the truth" about it.

     But since truth causes vanishment, if the thing is still standing
they haven't found out the total truth about it now have they?

     So this is a new thought to people, it really is new, and most
just don't get it.

     It is in part why true enlightenment is so scarce, people are
seeking a persisting truth rather than a vanishing truth.
