The world is real. Consciousness is the illusion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes what is 'real' because it takes place in the physical world, like 9/11, is so unreal on the level of the soul. Then other things, which in terms of the physical world seem so magical and unbelievable, on the level of the soul seem very real.
In our natural state, we are glorious beings. In the world of illusion, we are lost and imprisoned, slaves to our appetites and our will to false power.
So, we, as human beings, live in a very imprecise world. A world where our perceptions of reality are far more important than actual reality.
What is consciousness? Our brain simulates reality. So, our everyday experiences are a form of dreaming, which is to say, they are mental models, simulations, not the things they appear to be.
Life is a state of consciousness.
We don't live in the world of reality, we live in the world of how we perceive reality.
There's no reality except the one contained within us. That's why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.
We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah.
