It's okay, Jesse...I'm so used to being freaked out these days, it's my new normal, heh!!!
But I do kind of disbelieve in the illusion. I've poked so many holes in it and tested it and experimented until I know I have something to do with it. Iow, what meets the eyes, senses, etc: comes from me.
Jesse said: "Even your perception of who and what you are is a symbol interacting within your perspective."
The bold sentence above bugs the hell outta me! Who am I? I always thought spirit. I even sometimes feel I can tell the difference in "my" spirit and the rest of "me." Then Chaol comes along and I'm trying to throw all of it out the window....and be a tabula rasa.
Quoting: Unit3 You are until this explanation becomes irrelevant, then there's no need to interact with that particular illusion. Then you move on to an other illusion ;) Saying that we are relationships of the values in our perspective may be difficult to understand because we do not have the words-in-context to describe it. (And, of course, it is difficult to interact with it if we have not represented it somehow.) Aha! You are indicating we go through a series of illusions, figuring out what each means until we realize it is meaningless. Then, we move on to another and repeat. I sort of see how I've done this in my life, yet at the same time, there are things that I have taken away from illusions. For example, I've learned forgiveness. I've learned the mind fills in to explain experiences. Could it be said I already had these things, it just didn't occur to me until I explored the relationships that provided the illusion so I could see it? You all ready have everything. So, yes.
