The illusion.

Every thing in the universe is in an impermanent state. Matter is constantly changing. So, everything in the universe has no permanent reality. Only a seemingly real reality.

 If a thing is real

If a thing truly exists

It can never not exist

It would be constant.

As every thing is not constant, it only has the illusion of a reality.

 Likewise our minds.

Our minds are constantly filled with data which is  being updated. It too changes.

So, our minds are also impermanent and have no reality either.

Therefore we live in an illusion, a dream world.

Knowing this is so important! Every thing may seem important to us, but it all comes to pass: despite knowing this, we hold onto it for dear life. Phenomena has to be respected – we are in a body and it has to be cared for –  and others too – but know that nothing lasts.

Believing that everything is real and solid and then justifying it is delusional. So what is real? What is constant?     Well, space is empty space. It doesn’t matter what you do to the space in front of you, that space never changes.

The other reality is awareness. That too never changes. When you were a child and now – that awareness has never ever changed. You cannot be what you perceive.

Inner empty space and outer empty space are the only realities.

Ok, this may not seem like much fun, but wait…

Once we have established real reality, and know our true nature, we then increase our intelligence and are more creative. In addition, anger, fear, hope, pride and ignorance drop away, giving us more freedom and less bias. We are no longer weighed down by believing illusions to be real.

 “They are real illusions”

 Truly knowing everything to be an illusion is the union of the two truths – one reflects the other!

All the best with the fun,
