idiot_stimpy Posted September 14 Quote Illusion - an idea or belief that is not true, or something that is not what it seems to be. Its interesting that much of our internal world is built up of various ideas and beliefs. Our hopes, dreams, preferences, likes and dislikes, our fears, build on a ball of ideas of who we are. Understanding the idea of a dream, when something is seen to be real but then becomes unreal, the power of these balls of ideas begin to weaken. When the dream is understood to be a dream, is the waking up from following an illusion and holding onto something that wasn't even real to begin with. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snowymountains Posted September 14 The difference is that in a dream state what you experience as reality is entirely non-dual. You both create it and experience it, at the same time. In dream, objects follow whatevs laws you impose on them either unconsciously ( in a normal dream) or consciously ( in a lucid dream ). After you wake up, apples will always fall from trees though and never fly towards the sky, no matter how much consciously or unconsciously believes that. Dreams though sometimes are genuinely felt experiences and the affect and thoughts they left us with may well carry over when we are awake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yang Posted September 26 The opposite of illusion - is reality + An illusion is something that is not real. It comes after the reality its seaming to be big isn't. A hologram is an illusion of solidity. It has no solid density, only the shape and colors of the solidity it seems to be. A magician will put a person in a box and cut the box in half . The reality of that the person is not being cut in half. The illusion is that the person is being cut in half . Reality is a yes + Illusion is it's no. - You won't find an illusion without the reality its pretending to be unless you're not perceptive enough to see the difference.. Card tricks , vanishing cars and elephants etc are all illusions. Everything we see around is is an illusion of solidity and colors. The reality is no solidity and no colors , just " the Christ " a clear orb of pure 100% positive energy. Aka the WUJI . The Wuji is pure reality The Taiji ☯️👈 is it's illusion. Reality and illusion. Aka white + black - There only a single reality for all illusions . Energy is represented as white. Matter is represented with black. Illusions of what seems to be reality but is actually an illusion is like an illusion within an illusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
