Illusion
Illusion is defined as a thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses. Or it can also be a deceptive appearance or impression. If we only rely on our senses, we are selling ourselves short. When we are sleeping for example, all our senses are shut down. The deeper question that should be asked is what is consciousness? Is consciousness only perceived through the sense as we are led to believe? The real issue is not necessarily do we need out senses because I am sure we would all agree that losing a sense or two would be horrible but, is it truly necessary to have all our senses while we are conscious? Think about this for a moment. We can go into a dark soundproof room and close our eyes and mediate. In that state we can still see images in our mind. We can also still have memories of how things taste and smell. We can also hear through our minds sounds and other things like music. My point is that although, we do not want to lose any of our senses, your mind is very powerful. It is the controller of your body. What you allow in your mind is crucial to the standard of life. If you fill it with positive thoughts and pleasantries then, that will be your life blue print. If you fill it with negativity then, you will breed what you sow.
From a spiritual perspective, your subconscious mind is very impressionable. By this I mean that in your conscious state, we need to be alert in what you put in your mind because the subconscious will pick up the thoughts or ideas and eventually bring them to fruition. A person's perception through their senses becomes their reality. That is the beauty of having the free will to choose the type of life you want to live. I remember having a conversation once at my son's school with an individual about a negative topic that she had an interest in discussing. I advised her to look at her problem through a more positive prism. Her response was something that has always stayed with me but, it is very common with the majority of individuals. She said, "Oh then you're living in denial." My response to her was, "I just rather think positive." Not only did our conversation terminate, but I never heard from her again.
I have learned through life that most individuals like to talk about negative topics and, subjects that make them angry. Anger is a very powerful emotion. It triggers in individuals a response. Mostly negative but not always. I know many individual, myself included, that have verbally said thing when angry that we wish we can take back. What I have also learned in life is that if you live in a state of negativity or anger, it can have dire consequences on your physical and mental health. If you are in that state for long periods of time it would seem that your perception of life starts to be an illusion. Wayne Dyer stated, "it's not the snake bite that kills you, it's the venom that stays in your system that will kill you." This could not be stated any better. So why live a negative life? It makes absolutely no sense to me. We are all here for a short period of time. Lets take advantage of this time to be creative and accomplish whatever it is you want to accomplish. This is how you leave this world a better place. I have made my choice! I pray to the powers to be that you join me on this journey. You will never regret it. I leave you with the following poem titles, "An Illusion."
"Life is just a dream,
there is no reality,
life is only an illusion,
nothing real you see,
We're living in a time warp,
a different space and time,
everything you see around you,
it's just a figment of your mind.
Each second that ticks by is your past,
the future is only a dream,
life is only a fleeting moment,
the rest is history.
Yes life is just an illusion,
never take it seriously.
Nothing you see is real,
there is no reality. "
