The meaning of the phrase [the word] [in the English language];

                 'to realise something'

....can have two differing, specific interpretations or meanings.


1/ [within ourself] to become aware of something, or to 'grasp' a [mindful] understanding of something.

2/ [within the world itself] to achieve or fulfil, a desire of the heart.



There are so many hidden treasures ['ideas'] in our human languages.



And in actual fact, all of those 'mental ideas' and 'ways of expressing ourselves',     firstly,    resided 'quietly', within our human psyche.

i.e.
They have only found [later] expression and/or acknowledgement, through our communicable human languages.

It's just a shame that your posts totally destroy the English language

Brue Lee pointed at the moon and said not to look at his finger or you will miss all the heavenly glory. The words point.

Words do not contain the truth.

That's why you have to read between the lines to see what someone is saying, etc...
That's why you have to 'see' what people mean.

Realise also means to convert a non–monetary asset into money, “to realise the value of it.”
