I have read about the “illusion of life” in many books from a variety of Eastern Philosophies. However, I didn’t get it. How can life be an illusion? We eat, drink, sleep, work, play and live…. right here, right now. Right?
How can everything that I see, hear, feel, smell and touch be an illusion, when my senses reinforce that it exists? Why does my brain continue to tell me I am right, if I am wrong? How can such a crazy idea like this remain in circulation for thousands of years?
Simple. It is a universal Truth. When you wake-up from what you think life is, you will discover that it is an illusion. The ‘devil’ that Jesus battled in the desert was not a physical monster but a series of falsehoods to overcome. Buddha didn’t invent the Noble Eightfold Path to Enlightenment, he recognized the unhealthy behaviors that prevent spiritual growth and practiced them.
The Illusion of Life is about understanding that we are not Physical Beings with a Spirit, rather, we are Immortal Spiritual Beings manifested in Physical Form. Let me say that again, we are not Physical Beings with an Immortal Spirit, we are Immortal Spirits in a physical body.
In the Judeo-Christian faith, the Book of Genesis states that “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. (Gen 1:27) God created us as a division of the Divine Light, itself. We are a smaller Light of the Creator. We are Spiritual Beings manifested in physical form.
So, on that note, the quote of the day is:
“The Illusion of Life is no longer a mystery when you pass through the veil and the fog lifts.” tc
