The world is an illusion and hence everything else is.

for the world, which seems. To lie before us like a land of dreams,. So various, so beautiful, so new,. Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,. Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;. And we are here as on a darkling plain. Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,. Where ignorant armies clash by night.

Illusion is that everyone is thinking they are happy. The reality is that there is no happiness in this world. Just like a thirsty deer in the desert, when he sees a mirage, he runs after the illusory water, only to drop dead. In the same way everyone is afte so-called success but there is only pain, old age, diseases and death. Where is happiness? Happiness means permanente happiness.

The present state is a state of childhood, the future, that of manhood. Such is the difference between earth and Heaven.



"When that which is perfect is come," it will not bring an answer to all possible inquiries; but it will be amazing and delightful to see what a multitude of things, of which we had but the faintest glimpses before, are brought into perfect manifestation.



[1 Corinthians 13:12] For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

The greatest illusion is that there is an Almighty God and the stark reality is that there are still billions of people who swear by the existence of an Almighty God and consider the rest of the people as "pitiable Fools".

Keeping aside that specific issue, generally speaking, in this world illusion and reality are simply games played by our mind without our knowledge

An illusion is a distortion of the senses, which can reveal how the human brain normally organizes and interprets sensory stimulation. Though illusions distort reality, they are generally shared by most people.[1]

Illusions may occur with any of the human senses, but visual illusions (optical illusions) are the best-known and understood. The emphasis on visual illusions occurs because vision often dominates the other senses. For example, individuals watching a ventriloquist will perceive the voice is coming from the dummy since they are able to see the dummy mouth the words.[2]

The reality is how matter and energy are affected in the third dimension by our actions or by actions that we observe. This is quantifiable to the point where doubt can be removed.

The illusion is whatever we believe to exist (whatever we assume / imagine the state of the matter or energy is) before we receive those quantified results.



As far as other dimensions- we don't have a reliable system of measurement to remove doubt about those. But most likely reality exists there too- we just haven't proved it yet.

Everything is an illusion. We are stuck on this prison planet, way out here on the edge of this Galaxy and forced to live these physical lives in order too keep us under control.

Watch this, and rethink what reality really is:

The illusion that I Am reality when in reality I must coordinate with an illusive illusion called reality and I have only this very short finite moment to do it in. It would be nice if I knew what reality is instead of this illusion I think reality to be. In the end I Am a reality even if I Am nothing more than an illusion of a finite instance that was reality for that moment. In a million years no such thing will have ever existed, is the illusion that will be reality eventually.

The Illusion is the world pen and paper created (laws, money, books) produces different types of men and worlds........



Gods and dogs & Heaven and Hell



The reality is the earth man lives on......



Which is home to mankind aka different kinds of men...............asians, americans, africans and europeans.....



The Illusion distorts, enslaves, and kill your huMANity...... If you base your huMANity off pen and paper.......



The root of all evil is the love of money........



And there are a lot of moneymen on earth.........

Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Everything in the perceptual world is not in the former so it must be in the latter group.

An illusion is something that appears to exist or be a particular thing but does not actually exist or is in reality something else.

a perception that is not true to reality, having been altered subjectively in some way in the mind of the perceiver

If one examines more closely the unitive concept "world," there would be e.g. the "world of Islam (Dar al-Islam)" and the "world not ruled by Islamic legality (Dar al-Harb)," the "world of science," etc.



If one does develop a set of these "world views," one commonality: all find that which is not of their perspective less real and more illusory (e.g., "science" vs "superstition").



If your quantifier "this" were defined, e.g. a la Wittgenstein, then a) your pre-existing beliefs (i.e., non-Husserlian eidetic reductionness) would tend to determine your self-evident (aka "know thyself") answer and b) if you were using one or another methods to define/determine "reality," you might find that all are basically, aka logically, "riddled" with truth (and falsity) claims that are undeterminable within your axiomized system of "realism."



Semi-related "The Path of the Higher Self;" "There's Something about Godel." A current philosopher who works with the geometry of spheres is Peter Sloterdijk (e.g., "Bubbles: Spheres (Volume 1)" (deals with "microspherology"). A different, more "Cartesian" take on "worldness" is found in Deleuze's and Guattari's "A Thousand Plateaus" (which perspective--not necessarily the methodology--is somewhat limited, imho).

for me the reality is an illusion and the dream is a world; in this world the dream can be an illusion and the reality is like a stone

the reality is something concrete, you can't change it & the illusion is something abstract, you can change it

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was myself. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.” ― Zhuangzi

what is the reality? Gov't is killing you with high frequency electricity.Theotokos Virgin Mary gave prayers to "Schema-nun Antonia" on how to save aborted babies from hell. If you pray these prayers diligently, aborted babies are released from hell. On each painted nail there are 40 demons. Smoking is censer to the devil.Using foul language calls upon Pagan deities (aka demons); Holy Spirit departs on 7 meters. People who use drugs see demons who cleverly disguise themselves as ghosts and aliens.America will be last country to switch to Euro (antichrist's world currency). Contraceptives = abortion;using contraceptives for 1 year = 5 aborted kids.Miscarriages happen because of high heels; cesarean because of tight pants (second generation cesarean will be infertile).Unbaptized aborted/miscarried/unborn babies burn in hell for until Final Judgement; if pregnant, keep the kid and deliver at home because kids are chipped using IVs and vaccines in hospitals. Dentists and doctors chip patients secretly. Ultrasound leads to mark of the beast; don't do ultrasound, please. Abortion leads to breast cancer; a demon is released from hell for each aborted kid. Dogs can become possessed; don't keep dogs inside your home [Pelageya of Ryazan]. Walmart has technology to administer mark of the beast to those who have cat bacteria in their stomachs; stay away from cats [Afanasiy Sidyachiy]. Next false flag is the Statue of Liberty. Above earth there is ice (hemisphere); when rockets go up they bring ice down from upper sky to lower sky; ice stuck in lower sky will fall on us during Apocalypse. Earth is flat; earth stands on 3 pillars (the Most Holy Trinity); pillars stand on water at zero Kelvin; underneath this ice there is a bubble; and then the abyss. Zodiac is planetary prison of demons; don't believe in horoscopes or you'll exhibit the traits of the trapped demons. Most thoughts and dreams are from demons; demons never do good. Sleep fully clothed; pray the Jesus prayer. Pray to your guardian angel to have normal sleep. Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov was the last prophet before Apostle John (who wrote the Book of Revelation), Enoch, Elijah, resurrected Seraphim of Sarov, and resurrected Sergius of Radonezh will preach against the antichrist. Humans were created about 7525 years ago. Birds participate in time creation. It's a sin to kill birds. Dinosaurs live under our level; they will get out through sinkholes and lakes; to kill them, go for their nerves. Save the birds; but kill the dinosaurs. First dinosaur will come out of Volga River in Russia. Scientists don't see dinosaurs under our level because of radiation. Sinkholes happen because people dig for resources underground and because earth is heating up. Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash in Tibet 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath the Mariana Trench in Pacific Ocean. There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus. Antichrist is pale with red eyes. He's possessed by Satan since he's 12 years old [Lavrentiy Chernigovskiy]. He flies super fast; deceived people will say: "Christ is here; Christ is there" when he's flying from one city to the next very fast. He wears gloves to hide long nails. He's surrounded by demons who appear as angels of light. Antichrist will trick people that he can do mountain moving and resurrection using holograms/hypnosis; fire from the sky is real because of pollution gases in the atmosphere. Antichrist will have food only for 6 months; then he will feed his 666ed people flour from mashed up turtles (Tavrion Batozskiy), but this won't be enough because 666ed people are 10 times as angry and 7 times as hungry as normal people even though 666ed people became shorter (3-4 feet tall = 80 - 120 cm) because nanochips do function of organs (organs diminish) [Nilus Myrrhgusher]. If you have a lot of nanochips in your forearm, then you will not be able to make proper Orthodox sign of the cross (last mercy for you will be to cut your forearm off). Nanochips are sprayed by the gov't using chemtrails; they're also in gov't food and medicine; so, eat food from your own garden. In case garden is destroyed by ice from the sky, have chickens for eggs and goats for milk (Paisios). Lipstick contains cells of aborted fetuses, dog fat, and placenta; human flesh is in McDonalds, Pepsi, toothpaste, antiaging, anticancer, vaccines, perfume, etc.; that's why you should not be using anything that modern society has to offer. You're better off hiding within a 10-12 people group in order to escape Apocalypse. During Apocalypse, Chrtistians will eat dirt from under pussywillowtree as it's filled with tears of Theotokos Virgin Mary; this water will flee if a 666ed person tries to get it. Barcode is Druid black magic curse; QRcode is Mayan curse; when food is scanned, it becomes dead because laser is a substance from demons. Don't go into a UFO to be healed by demons. Green 666 is given by isotope rays on wrist or forehead when people stretch hands to receive small plastic grey card with no name on it (World Passport). It doesn't just have to be during this procedure (could be anything you sign up for or anywhere where there is a secret scanner); biometrics (fingerprints, eyes scan) or getting picture for passport are very dangerous because they could mark you secretly. Gabriel Urgebadze said that they do it on index finger when they scan your finger. Basically, try to avoid new documents at all cost. Police will microchip and isotope ray people on highways. Chipped people will be influenced by computers to take grey plastic card; but when they do, green mark by isotope rays is given on forehead/wrist. Food stores will isotope ray people too. Antichrist will also release prisoners to mark people. Reject 666 at all cost because it leads to permanent hell. If you're about to be marked, pray the Jesus prayer. Hide with Orthodox Christians to escape 666; leave all electronics behind so that antichrist's minions can't track you; burn documents because they're from Satan. The Most Holy Trinity gives you a name during baptism; devil gives an antiname during antibaptism (ex. Social Security Number). People who die with these Satanic documents go to concentration camp in hell to await Final Judgement; once the BEAST Computer is burned down, souls will be released for Final Judgement. That's why you should give back documents of your deceased relatives back to the gov't so that the gov't cancels these digital antichristian names given during antibaptism by the beast system; or just burn these documents because gov't could get upset and could send demons to mark you because of this outright act of defiance. Prophecy from half a millenium ago describes Final Judgement like this: Jesus was very upset with people who had little boards (plastic cards) in their hands because they wanted discount from the antichrist. Give to charity in the name of Archangel Michael; he rescues people from temporary hell twice a year [at midnight between September 18 and September 19 and similarly on November 20-21; pray at these times on your knees remembering the deceased by names (adding "and relatives by flesh up to Adam") so that they are rescued if they're in hell] (or brings them up a level, that is, to a level with less punishment; eventually, people are freed). Feed the pigeons; when pigeons bow down, people are saved from temporary hell. It's a big sin to remember the dead with wreaths (because demons put these wreaths on their necks if they're in hell with their hands tied up behind their back while hanging by their hands), meat, alcohol, sweets, and worldly music. Demons print icons of saints in newspapers so that you throw these newspapers in the trash blaspheming these saints. Crosses on soles of shoes and back of pants are blasphemy. Demons make carpets with crosses and put them on sidewalks so that people walk on crosses. Playing cards mock how Jesus suffered on the cross: clubs (cross on which Jesus was crucified), diamonds (four nails Jesus was crucified with), hearts (sponge with vinegar that Jesus was given to drink),spades (spear with which Jesus was pierced).Cremation is devil worship; only blasphemers such as Lenin should be burned; if Lenin is buried, earth will be polluted, and China will attack Russia because of this.After China attacks Russia, Ruski Orthodox Tsar (shown by resurrected Seraphim of Sarov) will come to power in Russia;this Tsar will slay traitors inside church and gov't; as a result, Russia will be the only country not under the antichrist.Ecumenism = 263 heresies;each heresy leads to hell. In 2006 in Moscow (that's why Moscow will sink),representatives from most religions signed a document where it says that all religions worship the same Supreme Being [aka the devil]. Priests who participate in ecumenism will have Pagans walking on their heads in hell. Arkhimandrite Antonin Kapustin left a prophecy that John the Baptist's living space will become a church and it will be blessed by forerunner of antichrist; Patriarch Kirill of Russia blessed this church.When priests pray for current gov't (instead of praying for future Tsar),Jesus gets up from His throne and turns His back to them.Forgive me.

i think that truth and reality must be the same thing.

i think life is the highest value, and everything else takes it value from life.



for example: "Admonitions Against Slander" by nichiren daishonin.



"The Hoben chapter, Volume One of the Lotus Sutra, states, "The wisdom of all Buddhas is infinitely profound and immeasurable." T'ien-t'ai explains, "'Infinitely profound' indicates the reality attained by the Buddha, which is as vast as a wide and unfathomable riverbed. Because the riverbed is infinitely deep, the water of the Buddha wisdom is 'immeasurable.'"



The sutra and interpretation make clear that the path to enlightenment lies within the two elements of reality (kyo) and wisdom (chi). Reality means the entity of all phenomena in the universe, and wisdom means the perfect manifestation of this entity in the individual's life. When the reality is an infinitely broad and deep riverbed, the water of wisdom will flow ceaselessly. Enlightenment is the fusion of wisdom and reality.



All the sutras expounded prior to the Lotus Sutra are provisional teachings which cannot lead to enlightenment because they separate wisdom and reality. However, the Lotus Sutra joins the two. It expounds the purpose for which the Buddhas appear in this world: to open the door to the Buddha wisdom, to reveal it, to let all beings know it and enter into it. All people can attain enlightenment by realizing this wisdom of the Buddha."



nichrien daishonin reveals this enlightenment as "nam-myoho-rengekyo".

We keep seeing our illusions in the rear-view mirror. We hope that what we see now is closer to reality.



Pragmatists say, make the best use of what little you know at the moment.



"Your word is a lamp unto my feet," says the Book of Psalms in the Bible. All the writer knows is what's right in front of him.
