What happens when you realize everything you have lived for in life is an illusion??????

Question

When we live all of our life for the image that is our physical body we do not realize we are living a life based on our image instead of a life based upon what we feel and what is within the beauty of our mind? What would you do if you didn't have an image? What would you do with your life? Who and how would your mind operate? These are a few basic questions.

Let me restate. I am not saying the body is not beautiful and truly amazing and outrageous work of art and evolution. I simply mean that most people live their life based upon their body, basically we are servants unto our bodily desires. We all die because we listen to our bodies instead of commanding our bodies with our mind. To me the mind is a powerful thing when used wisely and righteously. To me the mind is more important then any bodily image, it isn't the image that makes someone always beautiful. It is the mind combined with elegance..

To truly understand the body. You must understand your mind. To love your mind is to allow love to flow through yourself. To feel guilty, depressed, or any of those emotions is to not realize and be awakened to the truth that life is a Gift...

-from the Rose, Remote-Mind Michael

Evolution, it is the continuance of God-experience, the adventure of himself, and it is called the forever relative. You think that you have reached a state of perfection? If you have, you have reached a state of engrossed limitation, for there is no such element called perfection. There are only the limitations of the elements called perfection. To evolve means to change and evolve means to learn, and to learn means to be in knowledge of. Get it? Now what I am saying here to you wondrous entities is that there is an hour that has thus approached and is already in movement and that it is that which is termed the meek, to that which is called the humble, the simple of mind that can move forward in the thrust of evolution, that are going to inherit all of the kingdoms. And knowingness - profound knowingness like the fish and the birds - when you are that attuned and that adept to change, you are going to see a profoundly beautiful kingdom come forth. And it is right on your doorstep."

Answer 1

I guess you begin looking for the things that are not illusion. It is the only other choice, except to sit down and give up.

Answer 2

If you wait until understanding to act in love, then...

You have a looooong wait coming.

Live already... the 5 senses are to be engaged. If you can find more than 6 or 7 senses, then bonus points. But don't neglect the 5 while searching for the next. And most of all, don't look down on your own desires, bodily or otherwise.

Answer 3

When you realize this it could be either liberating or suffocating. To think you've made mistakes because of the illusion could devastate you, but you need to regroup and try to find a new way. It could be liberating because many new possibilities open up.

Without an "image" (and I'm not sure if you mean being truly impalpable or without an image one cares to maintain or display as the true reflection of oneself) there are explorations of art and philosophy that can exist at the level of thoughts. To quote from a letter of Henry James: "consciousness is an illimitable power, and though at times it may seem to be all consciousness of misery, yet in the way it propagates itself from wave to wave, so that we never cease to feel...there is something that...makes it a standpoint in the universe which it is probably good not to forsake."

Answer 4

You compliment yourself on attaining a higher level of wisdom.

Being positive is like the Little Leaguer who throws the ball three times, as the "greatest hitter," misses three times, and then says, "Even I didn't know, I could pitch like that." Positive spin, without excessive egotism, don't you see.

"Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, examines this condition as part of the human condition during post-passing states. The human consciousness, like the human body temple, is Matter- or Physis-based, and the outer waking consciousness, like the physical atoms body temple, gives way as the soulfield moves back to its first estate, in deeper meditation, dreams, lucid dreams, out-of-body experience, and attendance in the Schools of Light of the Saints.

The human's waking subconscious becomes the deeper meditation/dream/and so forth consciousness, reflecting the soulfield more directly.

"The Masters and Their Retreats," Mark Prophet, "The Master of Lucid Dreams," Olga Kharitidi, M.D., and "Man, Master of His Destiny," O. M. Aivanhov, reflect and import various levels of this progressive return unto Source.

"Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., and "Extraordinary Knowing," Dr. Elizabeth Mayer, are also good. Reverend Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Scientist, noted that when one passes through the portal called "passing on," that one awakens to "I am" and "the rules have changed." C. S. Lewis accurately portrays aspects of this deeper meditation/dream/post-passing dynamic in his novella "The Great Divorce," as does Helen Greaves in her "Testimony of Light" and Patricia Kirmond in her "Messages from Heaven."

Dr. William Tiller's "Psychoenergetic Science" http://www.tiller.org is a more science- or control-based look at this field, as is Lynne McTaggart's "The Field." Http://www.divinecosmos.com is a middle approach combining control and intuition.
