I can´t see how one thing is "illusion" and another not. How can ANYTHING be more real or unreal then anything else. There is but ONE Universe and everything in it is REAL.
Don´t measure The Universe from limited senses.

I am still working with this blog. There seem to be a pattern in there. But I am not finished yet. A little later I will take a step back and see what patterns there are. I think I am working throu both my human and spiritual lives. This blog and my home as I will move and am throwing away a lot of stuff.

The understanding of 'reality' and 'illusion' (in the sense of maya) depends on the position of the consciousness in the mindspace. At the material end, the reality is what you know from your five sensory organs. The knowledge and understanding is limited to that. But, to understand the complete 'drama' of mind, this consciousness should be taken away from the physical realm. As this journey begins the meaning of both 'reality' and 'illusion' starts changing/evolving. The consciousness is glued to both material and emotional realms. This makes it very difficult to enter the spiritual realm.
There is a spiritual realm (with or without God/religion) and there can never be complete denial of its existence. From the spiritual perspective the meaning of 'reality' and 'illusion' swaps its position. You as a spirit seems more real than you as a body. The understanding of everything being 'made of' mind is realised. Even when you see a physical object, it the thought about that object which is perceptible to your consciousness. Emotions are completely mental.
Further, the understanding of 'duality' breaks the line between 'reality' and 'illusion'. The meanings become irrelevant. There is complete acceptance and freedom from understanding what is real and what is not?

That is what I have been saying for years. But people seems to be stuck in the old system of thinking. Because I know the perspective is swaped I consider all of it as "real".
Thanks Agyat, you have a way with words.
