Yes. Be careful, you are entering Buddhist territory today. Life and even ourselves (our self-concept) are an illusion. We are the observer manipulating what is observed.
The Matrix was very Buddhist but so was Star Wars. After I became Buddhist I saw this.

This is a way of testing it:
With the mirror test, devised by Gordon Gallup in the 1970s, one is interested in whether animals are able to recognize themselves in a mirror. Such self-recognition is said to be an indicator of consciousness. Humans (older than 18 months), great apes (except for gorillas), and bottlenose dolphins have all been observed to pass this test.
So, if you look in the mirror and recognize yourself, this must be reality.

the whole world is like the matrix....everything is made up of your own perceptions, because everyone's perceptions of the universe is different as no 2 people's brains are wired up the same way.....
now do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

We do indeed help our Creator to keep this world in existence.
The First Universal Law, the Divine Paradox states.
This world is just an illusion compared to the "spirit" world.
Nevertheless, it is still REAL!

Perhaps when we die only then do we become truly aware about who we really are. We are all immortal and this life on earth is nothing but a testing ground. Our spirits are here for the "soul"(no pun intended) purpose of experience, nothing more

No, we are real people in real time and space. I am convinced of that. My imagination is strong and so is my will. I would not have created the reality I'm in without the influence of other real people.

Frye, there's a good chance that I'm not even real. I could very well be a product of your manifestations, or you mine. :)
