''If Life is An Illusion, You Must Learn To be A Great Magician. ''🔮

''The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion.
The tunnel is. ''

Our mind possesses shortcomings, and magicians are very much aware of that.
As I was looking up quotes on google that use the metaphor of life as an illusion, my heart broke when I stumbled upon this one…

''If life is an illusion it’s a pretty painful one. '' -Michel Houellebecq

Maybe he’s right.
What if we’re currently in hell, and when we wake up, we’ll be in heaven?
I mean for me, it only takes watching 2 videos of Alan Watts in a row to start having an existential crisis.
I start to question everything.
It’s funny to think that none of us signed up to be on here.
We did not ask to be born.
But magically, we were.
We’re on here for a very specific reason, and we have a lifetime to find out why.

Maybe life is an illusion, and enlightenment is the only path to escape from it.
Because it’s in the inside world where all the secrets are hidden, that being – inside ourselves. 💖 💫
Gosh am I thankful that there have been brilliant thinkers like Alan Watts who came into this beautiful world.
Do we only live once…. But forever?
It’s interesting!
I love to meditate on the impermanence of human existence.
A month ago, I was having a chat with one of my friends and he said to me:
''Sab, I’m excited to die to see what’s out there''.
Ok… I died inside when he said that. 😂 😉
It’s interesting, right, because while for some, thinking about death brings dreading anxiety, for others, they don’t fear it in any way.
But as the Buddha said, it’s the attachment that causes suffering.
The majority of us is scared to die because we are attached to our own lives.
We don’t want to lose our own reality.
I guess in a way, it makes sense to say that life is an illusion.
When you think about it, we all live our lives through our own reality.
A private reality that no one will be able to experience the exact same way as we do.

''And then comes the hitherto unbelievable surprise; you don't die because you were never born. You had just forgotten who you are. ''
Like can I just marry Alan’s mind?
Such pure wisdom like no other….
We are one with the universe… and maybe when we die we will finally come to realize it.
Or maybe this life we’re living now is just a game, and we’re living one level out of limitless levels.
And when we will die, we will get our card to pass to the next one?
One thing I do know, is that in the process, everything that happens to us is for a reason we ought to find.

How do you find reality? 🔮
