Hi TheJourney
Thank you for this interesting post. I like the way you put this : "The more you realize your "self" as you know it is an illusion, and try to better understand reality as it truly is, you begin to relate to the world more and more."
But sometimes there is a regret that not many people can understand and able to see "reality" of life. Often, we are unable to let go of many things in life.
Like what you have written, its a peaceful feeling to "just believe in yourself and know that this moment is perfect".
