I don't think we're quite on the same page. Illusion in no way suggests "unreal" to me, merely that it is an amalgamate of forces. I rather take the definition of illusion to mean a distortion of the senses. Which, in my opinion, is exactly what is happening. Even science shows that we have considerably limited senses, and the purpose of many kinds of training, spiritual, physical and mental all involve the heightening of these senses. Then things like Kabbalah work to open up the Sixth sense. I think you're taking illusion in the manner of a "magic trick", when really it simply implies that there is a multi-layered sensual world of which we are only experiencing a limited relationship with, due to our own ability or inability to "detect" and comprehend it.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that things "are as they are", but this is only because the moment of discovery will never be in the same moment of seeking! Or if it's all the same moment, then discovering this reality and seeking this reality are really the same thing! What I am getting at is the nature of the moment itself, my friend. There is only this moment, which means there is no time, which inextricably insists that there is no true space, but instead light conforms to a series of ratios in relation to the point of reference, e.g., the observer. Since we know we are self and other-self (superfluously to say) we can also assume that we are a single observer, observing itself, from a fractal perspective point. If you were to imagine consciousness looking out through a many faceted jewel I think the analogy would suffice.
Of course, these are just fanciful theories! Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, which, ultimately constitute their experiential reality. Love and light, brother, blessings, adonai.
Oh, I suppose I should also include the fact that it's a 4th dimensional jewel, so it is both within and without itself.
