When I started to understand the concept of reality being an illusion, there was something that clicked in me. It is in line with what some of the great spiritual masters have been saying. For example, the Indian mystic Ramana Maharshi had a spontaneous awakening, where he basically saw that everything was generated by his own mind.
Before continuing, I wish to interject something that I’ve said before: Once you realize beyond any doubt that reality is more than we can perceive with the five senses, anything becomes possible. Keep this in mind as you read. And why not ponder the implications of this.
A while back, I had a similar experience, where I still was me, in my body, but there was no absolute separation between me and the rest of the world. My wife was with me, and I could on a deep, undeniable level feel that in a sense she was me.
In connection with this, one person after the other that I read or listen to, has talked about how everything is energy and frequencies and that we just decode those energies and frequencies in a way that let us perceive them as, well… as the reality that we perceive. I think that this is also why, if we enter into an altered state of consciousness, we cannot just alter our visual perception of reality, without also altering our perspective on- and thoughts about it. But I’m not exactly sure of how this works. If it can even be put into words.
What all of this seems to mean, is quite paradoxical. But life is full of paradoxes once you’ve started to look beneath the surface. The paradox here is that in one sense, we are completely alone in the world. And in another sense, we are connected with everyone and everything.
What this means exactly I haven’t really figured out. I will probably write more about it as I think about it more. There is the classical double slit experiment, that demonstrate how at least elements of reality change by being observed. This at least proves that there is some sort of interaction that goes beyond mere perception, when we observe something. You can easily look it up on the internet if you want to find out more.
