2002.04.22 - Being Foolish

[Ankh]

Super post. I doubt there's anything more crucial than what is contained here.
Oh how I feel you on the throwing up comment, so I offer my apologies as I ask this question regarding this passage:

"...Indeed, each of you came
specifically to be thrown off balance, to be confused,
to be puzzled, even to be in distress and to suffer.
For you knew before incarnation that the great
opportunity that one has only within the illusion is
that it cannot be seen or proven that spirit exists,
much less that it is a transcendent state which, in
fact, doubles the illusion..."

Can anyone explain this last part? I'm reading the 'it' as 'the fact that we cannot prove the spirit exists' - which suggests that entering into this thought 'doubles the illusion'.
What does doubling the illusion mean?

Found a quote that fits in here:

"The more real you get the more unreal the world gets." - John Lennon.
