Of illusion we know nothing, if all we see is real. But with greater insight, wisdom tells a tale far different from the truths we have been told of old. What is that before your eyes? To touch, it gives a sense of what it is and what it does, but little does it say of how it came to be that way.
What if all you see before you is only real to the sense of that which has been taught by those before you on their path, and this mass belief is merely that, and nothing more? This is difficult to grasp, for most of us need proof. And why begin to question the facts which give our life the history remembered as a child?
But just imagine how the world is viewed by creatures small, by insects with different eyes, and no eyes at all. And realise, as has been noted, that our vision is minute in the scheme of light diffused in a spectrum vast in size. Once again we point to larger vistas there which take us out of comfort zones designed to order life into one of conformity and predictable outcomes known, so that a measure of control be sown.
Use your mind to thus imagine the world as it is now, but dressed akin to what you know is truth unfold. And flavour it with colours from a palette brightly hued, and worry not about correctness or what is thought to be the view. This is, then, your world, and you may share it with all life, and this will colour your every day and bring it all, anew, to even greater heights.
For what is praised most high, in truth, is not that which is known, but that which takes one out of depths and inspires another to take to throne.
