That life is an illusion of reality.

Nothing here on earth is real and the only meaning anything has is the meaning that we assign to it as we perceive it to exist, but of itself, nothing has any inherent meaning.

I completely agree with you swirlie! How long have you known that or when did you first discover that?

I first discovered that immediately after I'd had a 'death experience' at 10 years of age. After being brought back from the 'other side' when I showed up there unexpectedly, the illusion of life became extremely apparent to me. The older I get, the more apparent this fact is and the more hilarious this lifetime actually becomes for me!

Wow! What a trip your life has been so far swirlie! I never had quite that traumatic a lifetime along my way, but I did experience some pretty raw sewage after I'd joined the Royal Swedish Navy the day after I graduated from high school. I came to the same conclusion that you did that this lifetime is nothing more than individual illusions we're all living and making up as we go along, some illusions being shared by others which makes the illusion appear even more real because those other people are onside with each other in their individual perspectives.

YOU are deep! You must have lived in a submarine for too long, did you?
