Illusions.

[gerrerd]

Create your own illusion, or they will create theirs for you!

Truth and illusion have nothing in common; we must choose one or the other.

All illusions are equally unreal and that all must be brought to truth where they will vanish

[gerrerd in reply to bowJim]

We create our own illusion.

"How can you change the past except in fantasy? And who can give you what you think the past deprived you of? The past is nothing. Do not seek to lay the blame for deprivation on it, for the past is gone. You cannot really _not_ let go what has already gone."

"It must be, therefore, that you are maintaining the illusion that it has not gone because you think it serves some purpose that you want fulfilled. And it must also be that this purpose could not be fulfilled in the present, but only in the past."

The past is lessons to be learned from, then we progress.

I’m confused Gerrerd. So if you believe you are free, and you feel free, why does that have to be an illusion? This one is depressing me lol.

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Everything is a illusion of the mind, we create our illusion. x

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

We are controlled brain washed daily by media, TV . It is done deliberately to control us and keep us asleep. We are slaves in golden handcuffs ! A illusion. so we are not free!

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Ok, I believe you but IF everything is an illusion than perhaps there’s no need to worry as long as we are aware of it. No need for anxiety or depression if we accept the theory that everything we are experiencing is not “real” or just an illusion. In other words, next time I have a panic attack, if I accept that it’s not real and just an illusion, that could be somewhat comforting and freeing to me. I think I need mind altering medication to understand this one. 😀💛

Illusions of the mind ! can still create physical and do. My illusion is health and wellbeing. it works for me. x

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Get some magic mushrooms , only joking!

[Hidden]

Haha! I need to understand this post. Thank you for understanding my dilemma!

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Each persons illusion is their reality!

[bowJim in reply to gerrerd]

I trying to make sense of my mind, I see my mind split between good and evils, I perceive from the illusions I see, I judge between good and evil to make my 'self' happy, my belief is to understand or make sense of 'self', my mind split between Good and evil, What if I see just love and kindness in everything? Does my illusion vanish?

[gerrerd in reply to bowJim]

No you think about what you focus on, best bet try not think, just be!
