Consciousness Isn’t An Illusion

An illusion is a misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience.
Illusion: From Latin illudere ‘to mock’, from in- ‘against’ + ludere ‘play’.

Consciousness does not change, but everything else is changeable, and up for interpretation. When people deny that we are consciousness in favour of identifying with misinterpreted perception, they are lying.

No one can create consciousness as it’s what we are; it is neither born nor does it die – but this can be misinterpreted as being an illusion. Once we realise this, no one can ever pull the wool over our eyes again.

“You can fool all the people some of the time,
and some of the people all the time,
but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”
-Abraham Lincoln
