Is Reality an Illusion and Illusion a Reality?
Reality is the artificial world that we create around us with the superficial meaning. Reality is a perception created on half-truths already taught to us in this world.
Consider history, is it all true. Should we assume that thousands of years of passing of the holy books or knowledge is not corrupted by people in high places or priests who wanted themselves as the messenger of Gods.
Is reality really a hardwired truth of the rigid physical things.
There's a story of Buddha when after reaching enlightenment saw a woman running and cry that her husband is in trouble. To the enlightened one, the world was like a dream. He learned that her husband was dead. Then he thought it to be untrue and the husband then came searching for her.
Which brings me to this perception that reality is an illusion and illusion a reality. All the knowledge that we acquire in school or as an adult are not nearly as true as one's anticipation of things to happen.
It's like we all have buried, the innocence and the dreaminess we had once when we were a kid, and call ourselves a so called adult now.
In my view the illusions of life, the thoughts we mostly shrug off as incomprehensible or without any meaning, are the ones we should hold on to. And I believe that's what all the great and successful people in the world have done. They have listened to that self that gives them crazy ideas, crazy in the sense as mocked by or unpopular in the current world. And you can always hide your craziness behind a smile. (Paulo Cohelo) Listening to these ideas and following them with an ardent determination, they have shown the world a new reality. And the self is nothing but you.
Coming back, the illusion that we have stopped listening to, the one deep inside our memory, of all known and unknown truths is the most powerful a reality, which whether we realize or not is guiding towards the actual truth. All we need to do is listen to it, dream of it, follow it and we will accomplish wonders, no doubt.
