Is life an illusion?

Answer 1

The world is a stage and all the people are actors/actresses and to many life is an illusion!@~

Answer 2

One can make a case that what we witness as life is an illusion, but then you would have to understand that there is life beyond the blood, and materiality of ourselves. You would need to understand that we are capable of manifesting our own reality and with that reality would come all that we are experiencing right now including the material world to which we live. You would need to understand that thought is the most powerful force in the universe and that we are part of the universe with the power to create our experiences here and now and here and afterwords. Life is an illusion, look how quickly one can be removed from it and gone, and what how you can change your reality if you put your mind to it. Try it, it is possible. And when enough people on this plane of existence understand this, there will be no more world as it is today....it will cease because the belief in the material will crease and a new reality will appear.

Answer 3

I understand what you mean by illusion... I can answer that the life of most animals except man lived in reality, while most of our society lived in an artificial environment that is far from the reality, therefore, it can be called illusion. Take my advice, travel in another country for few months, and you will see what is the real priorities in your life. In this society, we don't really understand what is living, but we do understand much about illusion... The reason for this is simple, illusions never hurt (or almost never)...

Answer 4

No, but it indistinguishable from an illusion, because when you get down to brass tacks, neither has any real significance. In fact some illusion, like books and movies, have lasted years, centuries, millenia (the last two reffering of course to books, not movies) longer then their creators, so by a certain measure, illusions actually have the potential to be MORE significant then people who merely 'exist.'

Answer 5

Yes and no. Just as sound is carried on & electrical impulse & is transmitted through wires. So to are we carried on the light of Gods unconditional love. and the illusion we preceive are but the impurities reflected in this light. Have you ever observed the size and color changes of the sun & moon just after they rise and just before they set. Saffron is the color of the silk robes of sannyasi and buddhist monks.
