Illusion...

We dwell in a universe of illusion, for the effects and forms we
perceive possess a stability which is not there and a reality which is
imagined. Even its time space and motion depend upon the perceptions
which announce them or the mind which is aware of them. The mystic
seer's flashing enlightenment reveals this to him, but science's own
reflections about its atomic discoveries are pointing to the same idea.
All this has been told and taught in The Hidden Teaching Beyond Yoga
and The Wisdom of the Overself. But the seer's enlightenment did not
stop there. He saw that the perceiver himself was not less illusory
than the universe of his experience, not less unstable, not less
unreal. He saw that the human ego was but a human idea. It had to be
transcended if truth and reality were to be
experienced..............Paul Brunton
