Is life an illusion?
1. EmptyHub (If everything is just an illusion) refers to the parable of Jesus "about a son who leaves his father's home, squanders his wealth, returns destitute and poor, only to be loved even more...
"To put it another way, one has to pass through the false in order to know the true."
The son learns to be part of 'God' rather than an individual selfish self.
As Jesus said: "I and the father are one".
The son learns to be part of 'God' rather than an individual selfish self.
As Jesus said: "I and the father are one".
3. p3ndulum (If everything is just an illusion) refers to our possible illusions about our 'loved one'.
"We don't get to see who is truly there in front of us because we've painted them in a hue in an effort to fit them into our paradigm of what we believe a 'loving' relationship should be/look like."
4. There is a belief that if we can detach ourself from our sense of being an individual self, then we are detached from physical and emotional discomforts.
Quantum theory tells us that an unobserved small object exists only in an unpredictable state, with no defined location or motion until the moment it is observed.
10 mind-blowing theories.
In other words, the material world as it seems to us is not the real world.
4. There is a belief that if we can detach ourself from our sense of being an individual self, then we are detached from physical and emotional discomforts.
5. The philosopher George Berkeley argued that a thing only exists as an idea in someone's mind.
6. Socrates and Plato argued that beyond what we think is real there lies a world of 'perfect' forms.
"Everything that we see is just a shade, an imitation of how things truly are."
We should see the difference between 'vulgar lust' and 'love for the divine'.
7. According to the Taoists: "We are asked to keep our awareness in two places at once.
"There is no self, yet I exist as a self.
"Laozi says: live in the world of manifest reality... but remain aware of the formless, remain aware of the state that is beyond desire.
"Be in the world, but not of the world."
8. So, some philosophers and scientists believe that the "physical world" may be an illusion.

11. Professor Robert Lanza believes that Death is an illusion.
He believes that it is our minds that create space and time.
He believes that Life creates the Universe.
Robert Lanza and Deepak Chopra, in an article entitled Evolution Reigns, but Darwin Outmoded write:
"Darwin's theory of evolution is an enormous over-simplification.
It's helpful if you want to connect the dots and understand the interrelatedness of life on the planet - and it’s simple enough to teach to children between recess and lunch.
"But it fails to capture the driving force and what’s really going on."
Lanza believes that until you observe the sky as blue and the girl as pretty, everything exists in a state of probability.
But wait a moment.
Some people would say that the sky would exist even if no one was observing it.
Some people would say that our universe existed before people came into existence.
So, some people will not like Lanza's ideas.
Biocentrism Demystified: A Response to Deepak Chopra and Robert Lanza.
Lanza believes that there are many universes.
Lanza explains that everything which can possibly happen is happening at some point across these multiverses.
So, you may think you have died in one universe, but you are still alive in another?
Lanza says that that when we die our life becomes a 'perennial flower that returns to bloom in the multiverse.'
By maria dupovkina
Lanza writes: 'Life is an adventure that transcends our ordinary linear way of thinking.
"When we die, we do so not in the random billiard-ball-matrix but in the inescapable-life-matrix.'
Lanza refers to the famous double-slit experiment involving a particle and two slits in a barrier.
When the scientist is watching, the particle goes through one slit or the other.
But, if the scientist is not watching, the particle acts like a wave and can go through both slits at the same time.
This suggests that the behaviour of the particle is decided by the mind of the scientist.

Lanza's Answers to Basic Questions:
What created the Big Bang?
Answer : No ‘dead’ universe ever existed outside of mind (“Nothingness” is a meaningless concept)
Which came first, rocks or life?
Answer: Time is a form of animal intuition.
What IS this universe?
Answer: An active life-based process
This is reflected in the seven principles of biocentrism:
"Once upon a time, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting about happily enjoying himself.
"He did not know that he was Zhou.
"Suddenly he awoke, and was palpably Zhou.
"He did not know whether he was Zhou, who had dreamed of being a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhou.

10. Let's look at Taoism.
1. The Force
Consider Luke Skywalker and how Obi-wan Kenobi taught him about "the Force".
Luke had to avoid being distracted by things like fear and anger.
2. What are the essentials of Taoism?
(http://www.godquest.org/taoism.htm / Http://www.crystalinks.com/taoism.html)
Some Taoists and Christians and others believe that bliss can be achieved when:
1. One is compassionate
2. One is moderate (Avoid large numbers?)
3. One is humble (Avoid large numbers?)
4. Everything is in balance (+ X - X rather than +X - 1000X?)
5. One is in tune with the Holy Spirit or the Tao or whatever one wants to call it. One goes with the flow.
6. One avoids the use of force; one avoids pitting one's will against the universe.
..
The Christians talk about God’s spirit.
3. The Tao and Yin and Yang:
When the Tao is in balance one can be happy. (+ X - X rather than +X - 1000X?)
There is Yin and there is Yang (just as there is black and white, up and down, male and female).
4. Wu wei is action through inaction; ‘a practice of minimal action, particularly minimal violent action’.
How should we act?
We should avoid producing unintended consequences.
"Not taking premature or unnecessary actions keeps all of one's options open, so that the most appropriate action remains available.

1. The Force
Consider Luke Skywalker and how Obi-wan Kenobi taught him about "the Force".
Luke had to avoid being distracted by things like fear and anger.
He had to learn about spontaneity.
On one occasion, Luke was trying, without success, to avoid laser blasts from a 'remote'.
When Obi-wan Kenobi placed a helmet on Luke's head so he couldn't be distracted, he easily deflected the remote's laser blasts.
The idea is that when you are aware of the 'Tao' and feel 'the force', you can flow with it, and the right action appears for itself, spontaneously.

We should avoid producing unintended consequences.
"Not taking premature or unnecessary actions keeps all of one's options open, so that the most appropriate action remains available.
"Actions always elicit reactions.
"Each action taken provokes reactions from all quarters that, taken together, are always more powerful than the precipitous action itself. It is the ultimate definition of the inescapable law of unintended consequences."
"To follow the dao (path) of life is to go with the natural flow of life and to avoid going against it.
"The ethical theories of Taoism lean toward passive resistance, believing that evil, by definition, will ultimately destroy even itself without undue interference.
"Yet it would be a mistake to regard Taoism as fatalistic and pessimistic, instead of the ultimate sophistication in optimism that it is.
"Only by not applying effort can one achieve that state in which nothing is not attainable effortlessly.
"A little ambition is a good thing. Total elimination, even of undesirables, is an extreme solution, and it is therefore self-defeating.
"Life is a prison from which one can escape only if one does not try to escape. It is the desire to escape that makes a place a prison, and the desire to return that makes it a home. Home is not where one is, it is where one wants to return."

Life and consciousness represents one side of the equation, matter and energy the other.
They can't be divorced; split them and the reality is gone...
How can entangled particles be instantaneously connected on opposite sides of the galaxy as if there's no space or time between them?
And how can events in the present affect those in the past?
Recently, scientists sent particles into an apparatus and showed they could retroactively change something that had already happened in the past
God, too, lives in action and is a relational concept, both existing and not-existing at the same time.

Their world is an illusion.
And time is not theirs.
They are chasing their own loss.
Fortunately, there are some who do not fall into their illusions.
You still have to have Faith.
Mercy is important for our survival.
Once they remove Faith, the mind is easier to manipulate into various delusional theories.
Sometimes I wonder why there are some who rejoice when they see people struggling and suffering to keep their FAITH.
While the heads that manipulate the pockets of this world will only serve them illusions and real pains to their souls.
