Everything was once all the same thing. You could relate this to before the Big Bang when all molecules basically occupied the same space. This gave them powerful association with the other molecules, since they were all One. Those same molecules still exist, all matter is formed from them. Everything is One. The only time is now. We are the briefest flash of an instant, but we perceive time as moving forward and we perceive distance between matter. That is the illusion. Our species has developed ways of perceiving reality that may that reveal realities true nature. We may deceive ourselves because it's convenient to do so.
Not only is everything and everytime at 'One' and something that happens here can effect something that happens a million miles away, but you are everyone. And everyone is you. This is why hate is counter-productive and self-destructive. What you do to another, you do to yourself.

how can something that is not real be anything other than an illusion? all matter is 99.99% empty and only .01% actually exists and pops in and out of existence and therefore it can't really be called real. it's more like thought. therefore since it is thought all things that exist have a soul simpley since they exist and are some form of consciousness otherwise they could not exist. since that is the case all the souls are intrinsically related and all is one.
time is simply change and our memory of it. space is only relevant to this world so therefore it is intrinsically part of the illusion.
also the self is an illusion.
asking questions does not produce an answer. the answer was always there. in a way you always knew it but you couldn't recall it because of the illusion once you get rid of the self the answers will become clear to you.
listen for the mountain stream and then start from there.

Hinduism preaches that we are atma and that we have to realise it.From the atmic view,the Desh and Kaal are illusions because Atma is the eternally existent,it cannot be destroyed by any one and by anything.Death is nothing but a change of dress from one body to another.You read many good books as the space here will not be sufficient to explain these.

Have you ever woke up sometimes in the morning as if it was the same some mornings before? Like living in the day day before?
Life is somtimes like an illusion and that is why we sometime pinch ourselves. It is all in the MIND.
How do we know all we see is judt a dream or not?

They say that everything is illusion because none of it is real. The basic idea is that Vishnu sleeps in the cosmic river and he dreams the Universe. When he wakes up, the universe disappears.

I'm not Hindu but it is common sense if you think about it. People perceive situations differently. Who's to say which one is correct so therefore none are correct.
