Reality & Illusion

Reality is Illusion The Reality Illusion

reality is illusion illusion is reality

What is illusion and what is reality? Everything is an illusion and everything is reality.

The nature of reality is illusion The nature of everything is nothingness The substance of everything is emptiness

The Nature of Reality

  • reality is illusion

Reality is that which is, That which does not change, yet contains all changes. That which is, is not found in the manifest world. It is what everything is made of, with everything returns to. It is before time and beyond space

There is a difference between reality and Reality There are in infinite number of realities - temporary relative reality experiences. There is only one Reality - the source and substance of all realities.

This reality we inhabit is always changing ever changing The only constant in this reality is change Therefore this world, this reality experience is not Ultimately real, is not Reality

It is a dream, it is a temporary manifestation It seems so solid and permanent, but disappears every night and upon your death

The Reality Experience

There is no reality - other than your experience of it.

Just because our reality is an illusion, that doesn't mean it doesn't *matter. That doesn't mean the experience isn't real.

For that is all a particular reality is. It is a temporary construct so that you may experience the experience of existence. The experience is real, not the reality-matrix in which the experience is lived.

The Nature of Illusion

  • Illusion is reality.

This is a beautiful paradoxical truth, that Reality is made of illusion . That illusion is woven into the fabric of Reality.

It is like the full moon reflected in a puddle of water. The reflection of the moon in the water is an illusion - but the illusion exists asan illusion. It has a reality as a mirage.

Just as your nighttime dream is an illusion, but the experience is real. The dream exists as an illusion. And the truth is that this waking life experience is your dream.

This is why I say, that reality is illusion-but that doesn't make it any less real

For anything to exist, it paradoxically must be an illusion - for it only temporarily exists, and anything fleeting is ultimately unreal.

The Great Illusion

It is interesting that the roots of our word “illusion” come from a Latin word that meant “to play”. This idea that this reality/illusion is a play, a theatre, a game. It is not something to be taken seriously, but rather something to be taken lightly and to play in this illusory reality experience we find ourselves in.

It is an imagination and a dream within the mind of God. It is a trick and a sleight-of-hand by the Great Magician.

The Implications

Knowing that reality is an illusion, we can use the power of illusion to create and experience what we wish rather than succumbing to the illusion of power the belief that reality has power over us, the illusion that we are powerless because reality is something solid and unchangeable

What a beautiful paradox That reality is illusion and illusion is reality

What a wonder! What a perfect mystery! That that which to us seems most real, solid, tangible is actually an illusion. And that which we cannot touch taste, see, hear, or smell, is the true Reality That which we can find no proof of, that which the mind can never grasp - is the Source of all.

And it is closer than your own breath, your own heartbeat

The implications of this are, that nothing matters and so everything matters That each moment is infinitely precious At this world is so beautiful because it is so fleeting, because it is a dream

This reality and all realities is a dream with in the imagination of the mind of God

Reality is a dream - but that doesn’t make it any less real

Reality is an illusion but that is what reality is there is no reality other than your experience and experience is always changing

There are an infinite number of realities All real, yet all illusory

That which is REAL is that which IS Always IS, that which does not change Yet contains all changes

The reflection of the moon on a puddle of water is an illusion But it exists asan illusion

everything is an illusion, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t real real as an experience

Reality is an illusion but that doesn’t make it any less real

All things are illusions Temporary materializations Clouds in the empty sky

Reality is made of illusion It is woven out of dreams, thought, and belief

This is a play, a game, it is not reality. Reality is Reality It is a game of forgetting and remembering.

We must redefine what it means for something to be real, and for something to be an illusion

Anything that is imagined exists in some form, in some reality

Illusion means to play,

Reality is whatever you believe it to be Belief is reality, reality is belief

You create your reality. It is all you, it is all made of your consciousness. It is all a mirror of you, your reflection. There is nothing outside of you - all of it is you.

Knowing that reality is an illusion, we can use the power of illusion to create and experience what we wish rather than succumbing to the illusion of power the belief that reality has power over us, the illusion that we are powerless because reality is something solid and unchangeable

knowing that all truths are true, all realities are real and therefore we can create what we prefer, experience what we wish, be whoever we want

when you realize that reality is an illusion than you become a magician

all truths are true All realities are real All perspectives are valid

There is no one truth, one reality, one perspective

We each create and perceive our own universe, our own reality,

— Middle English (in the sense ‘deceiving, deception’): via Old French from Latin illusio(n- ), from illudere ‘to mock’, from in- ‘against’ + ludere ‘play’.

Reality is made of illusion illusion is woven into the fabric of reality

There is no reality other than your experience of it.

Our reality is as an onion, composed of layer upon layer of illusion And at the center is nothing

reality and illusion are 2 aspects of Reality

Reality is illusion And illusion is reality

Form is emptiness Emptiness is form

Even illusion exists as illusion The reflection of the moon in the water is not the moon, but it is a reflection of the moon in the water

A dream exists as a dream

Reality/Illusion

Reality and Illusion are the two sides of the coin of existence Two sides of the mirror
