Life's Top 5 Illusions

By Barry Goss,
Creator of The Manifestation Portal

WARNING: These new paradigms may well be somewhat controversial, or even, dare I say it, shocking to your system of thought; but I did not invent these visionary views of life. But, only through intense gut-level questioning and critical-thinking, come to understand that it is the knowledge and brief understanding of these that will either cause you to throw-up or wave on the unpalatable taste of more good medicine. You’ll either be moved to ‘consume’ something sweet, easy, mundane and valueless, like a newspaper, magazine, or cheap novel or you’ll continue to take the good medicine knowing that your mind viruses will eventually cure themselves from the insideout.

Illusion #1: God is a personality
God is a personality - an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits "up there" watching our every move.

My New Paradigm: Like the electrical source from an outlet, God is formless, infinite, nonlinear, as well as unperceivable. God is that First Force that expressed Itself as and through you, as and through me, as and through All Things everywhere.

If you've soaked up and bought into traditional religious theology over the years and/or haven't put on your critical-thinking cap while exploring ideas outside the "black book", this may be a little hard to swallow. And, since the idea that God is our creative source and that we are an individuated, interconnected extension of that universal source (like the sun is to a ray of light); since this paradigm - this new view - has took me a while to get a handle on as well, I'll tread lightly by just giving you an excerpt from Len Chetkin's book, 100 Thoughts That Lead To Happiness.

Note: this new paradigm – that we are not mere fragments of the 'father' God or organized religion, like "crumbs in a cake,' but that each of us really does contain the total powerful essence to instead BE the cake (i.e., everything is God, ergo, we are God) – has raised an outcry for years.

From when Charles Fillmore said the same thing over a 100 years ago to the recent echoed paradigm in the Conversations with God series, by Neale Donald Walsh, this it one of those unspoken truths that more and more folks over the last half-century have felt from deep within but which maybe they dared not yet accept or believe.

Excerpt from Len Chetkin:

"Instead of looking at God as a deity in charge of everything going on in the physical and having it stop there... Instead of viewing God as a standoffish power who threatens to wield power at the slightest misstep... Instead of thinking of God as a separate entity who resides somewhere outside of us, reigning over the universe with an iron fist and a loving heart... Think of God as an integral part of our everyday living. The deity of which we are part and parcel. The mother/father spirit whose totality is the sum total of all souls everywhere, who can be called on at any given moment to aid any individual cause, and whose love is infinite and is never withheld, no matter what the circumstances, because it is our birthright, being divine, to call upon the infinite gatherings of love and once feeling love’s existence, be immersed in it. It’s like not seeing the forest for the trees. We are the trees. We are the forest. We are Divine. We are God."

God is neither external nor internal. God is everything, everywhere. God – as the formless first and all-pervading Source – is holographic, with each aspect containing a complete imprint of the whole. God is All-That-Is.

While this view may not serve you, again, it IS one of the necessary paradigm shifts that I had to make. Like the dynamite that blasts a hole in the side of a mountain for access to further exploring, this visionary personal truth has given me the ability to see even deeper truths.

“I have no idea what God is. Yes, I have an experience that God is. There is something very real about this presence called God, although I have no idea how to define God, to see God as a person or a thing. I can’t seem to do it. It’s kind of like asking a human being to explain what God is. It’s similar to asking a fish to explain the water in which the fish swims.” – Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D.

Illusion #2: If it's in the Bible it must be true!

My New Paradigm:
The ultimate truths are to be found within, yet the study of a variety of sources of information helps you to reawaken and remember your inner truths.

As a young teenager, one day in Sunday school, out of naive curiosity, I asked my Sunday school teacher, "Is the Bible our sole, God-given, instruction book for living?" As she usually had a snappy, ever-confident, answer, she said: of course it is. It is God's holy word and his rulebook for us to live in accordance with his plan for our life. "But, if it's God's one-and-only guide”, I continued, “what about other people across the world who read other rulebooks. Can we all be good people by living our lives out of different rulebooks?". She mumbled that she would have to consult with the minister about that question.

While I still recognize the Bible as a remarkable book – unquestionably the world's all-time bestseller with countless millions of copies in print – and one that lays out some insightful truths into helping us live a righteous life (yes, it has some very high levels of consciousness imprinted in it), I also acknowledge that there a lot of other God-inspired books / texts, just as the Bible is.

For people you come across who reference the Bible (and only the Bible) to impose their worldview on you, it's important to keep in mind that the Bible, or the various transcriptions and points of view about what Jesus said or taught, comprises many fallacies. The error comes not from Jesus, but from the varying positionaliites of the people (the ego of man) who attempted to transcribe Truth onto paper. If one chapter, or the book of the Bible, was 100% correct, another written version by anyone else would not be needed. But many people tried to keep a record of what happened at the turn of that millennium, and unfortunately these stories differ, sometimes greatly.

In the case of the Old Testament, it was compiled over thousands of years. And the events of the New Testament were recorded by people at least 400 years after the death of Christ. Stories were passed down from mouth-to-mouth by believers for hundreds of years before they were actually written down. Anyone who has ever done the ‘whisper something in the ear of circle of guests’ at a party knows that what was said originally is invariably changed by the time it hits the end of a circle of people.

In all cases, the Bible was written directly by the universal source (All-that-Is) or God, if you still prefer, but was inspired by God using the talents and shortcomings of the Bible authors.

Everything they wrote was filtered by their perceptions of the world they lived in. Paul acknowledged this when he said our understanding was as though we were looking through a clouded mirror or glass.

So, what do these facts all mean? How can it help you increase your manifesting mindset?

Well, when you realize that God (the Universal Whole) did not just stop communicating with us 2000 years ago nor expect us to – or condemn us if we don't – view the Bible as our definitive instruction book to life (especially after it's been horribly manipulated, controlled, and mistranslated over the years), you're better equipped to see, from the mountaintop of spiritual truth, just how you're really supposed to live your life: not from fear or judgments but on love for each other as individuated parts (images) of God-source, requiring that we take full and complete responsibility for the choices we make in discovering who we truly are.

When you open yourself up to other compilations of spiritual truths (like the Conversations With God series or the Abraham-Hicks publications) – books and texts that have many less stories of extremely egocentric and ethnocentric depictions of God and "his Word" – you'll see that it's more about individual responsibility rather than blind acceptance of another's authority.

But, I’m not even asking you to believe what's written in these 'other' books either. I'm not sure I always accept even 90% of what I read in anything. But from everything I know to be true based on my experience and my personal growth – not some prefabricated force-fed belief system – these 'other' books have divine truths within too.

As three part beings (body, mind and spirit) our bodies are capable of earthly things, our spirits capable of Godly things and our minds are usually the barrier. The way to help your mind become the bridge to connecting body and soul is to ask questions for yourself. Seek truth for yourself and from no one else. In other words, be open to 'other' ideas and systems of thought and teaching.

Illusion #3: The Universe Came First, You Came Second.
We feel everybody around us is figuratively here alone. We see ourselves as separate minds trapped in separate bodies, moving through separate points in time.

My New Paradigm:
We are connected to everything and everyone in more ways than we might be able to ever imagine, unless we wake-up and remember that we’re the ones who wanted to forget in the first place. Huh?

For years, we've evolved to believe that we what see, experience and have in our life is what, well, life basically has given – and continues to give – us . . .that we're consumers; we are the ones that were created, we are the ones that have no choice, we have to live out our genetic destiny.

But, just ‘what if’ – yes ‘what if’ – the world as we see it (as a picture of alienation, with each of us caught in an endless, frustrating, hopeless search for completion) has along been nothing more than a fun illusion that we pulled on ourselves before we arrived in physical form?

Let me share with you this fun little story which gives a very description view of the notion that the physical world doesn’t actually exist. It is a dream, a self-written script, and we are the ones billions of years ago who feel asleep and dreamed it up.

Let us take you on a journey.......

All of us here are gathered in a meadow at the base of a mountain. We are home and we are all playing together in perfect love. A dear brother approaches and says, "Would anyone here like to play a new Game?"

"What kind of Game?" You ask. "Is it like the ones we play now?"

"No," he replies. "It is like nothing we have ever done before. It will be an elaborate Game with many props and disguises. We will wear veils so that we can no longer see or re-member our true nature, even the veil will be hidden from view. Then we will start the Game and begin to remember.

This veil will be so effective that you will forget not only who you are; you will even forget home. Even as we pass each other on our paths, we will look into each other's eyes and not recognize one another. The veil will be so effective that many will look around at the props and disguises and truly believe that is all there is. You will retain all of your powers, yet you will not remember how to use them or that they are even there.

"The Game will be played in phases and before we start each phase of the Game we may place as many reminders in our path as we wish, to help us re-member. Be advised to place many reminders, for most of you will rationalize them away easily. We will choose the time and place of our entrances and exits on the Game board. We will also set up circumstances and lessons we wish to complete while we are under the veil. A tally will be kept and points will accumulate from one phase to the next. This point system will only be used by you to determine what will be included in your next phase. You will not be able to remember from one phase to the next, yet, once mastered, certain attributes may be carried forward into the next phase. You will always carry your core essence and personality, yet you will not re-member that it passes with you through the veil into every phase.

"Humor will always be a reminder that passes unchecked through the veil, and if we find you getting too serious we will tickle your funny bone as a reminder that this is only a Game. There will also be many masters available along the way to help us if we wander too far from the path. Oh yes, I almost forgot an important part of the Game... at all times there will be Free Choice. You have complete choice in all matters; you may even choose not to play the Game, or to call in a substitute.

You may choose to hide, or you may choose to seek, it is entirely up to you.

"On the Game board there will be polarity. This has to do with the mechanics of the Game board itself, and will be a necessary component as it provides the contrast needed. However, polarity will taint your vision. Through eyes tainted with polarity, you perceive things as Up or Down, Light or Dark, Good or Bad, Love or Fear and Right or Wrong. Do not let this fool you, it is only illusion.

"We will all leave our higher aspects of ourselves in a special place for the duration of the Game; otherwise the Game would be much too easy. Your higher self will be available to you at all times. Your challenge will be to learn to access it, and to re-member that it exists as part of yourself. You may choose special loved ones to ride on your shoulder to advise you during the Game. Again, re-membering that they even exist will be a big part of the Game itself.

"The goal of the Game will be to see how many can re-member who they are, where they are from, and what powers of creation they have. Once you re-member, then you may re-merge with your higher self and re-create home on the other side of the veil to demonstrate that you have fully re-membered.

"So who wants to play?"


The implications of this – should you choose to accept this visionary paradigm – are profound. If we have never really separated from God / Universe / the energy of all that is; if we are the dreamer, it is we who can make the dream a happy one; and it is we who can stop dreaming altogether and wake up whenever we want (this is oftentimes associated with raising our consciousness and level of self-awareness, which can be done numerous ways. See the 12 principles starting on page 34 of "The Manifesting Mindset").

Omitting the background information which might make this even more ‘clear’ for you, one of the best short explanations for getting at least an overview of the concept of oneness and the idea that we, in a paradoxical sort of way, are the ones who actually created it’s opposite (separation) so we can experience ourselves as the actors living out our own script... one of the best excerpts I’ve seen is from David Cameron’s book Achieving Your Life’s Goals Effortlessly.

“Hinduism taught it in a different way. Buddha does the same in a different way. Tao did the same in a different way. Jesus and Mohammed taught it, in a different way. Quantum physics teaches it in a different way. Just about every spiritual teacher, sage, quantum physicist and religion teaches us, it its own way, that we are all one and by acting in that awareness we move forward fastest, most richly and least painfully.

This is nothing new, but often we have refused to listen. Now, in your quest for abundance and joy, you may wish to look at this again.
Everything is all One, the same Being, individuated in different guises. In other words, everything is a localized point in and of The Source, of The All-That-Is, of God. Nothing can possibly exist outside of and separate from The Source. The individuation and the illusions of separation are necessary for the creation of physical experience.

Once you realize, feel, and act from this position of oneness, you will start seeing that you already are one with all the things you desire, and with all the people and things that will bring wealth to you. You will see that you are the one making the request for you desires, the same one communicating that request, the same one fulfilling that request, and the same one experiencing the manifestation of your request. Hence, you need not worry. The illusion that you are not the same one is there just for your thrill and experience.

Whatever you way you look at it, spiritually or scientifically using quantum physics, the conclusion is this: Separation does not exist. End of Story”.

So, my question to you is this? Would you rather continue to believe that the outside world controls you and that you’re connected to nobody or anything but yourself … or … would it be much more exhilherating to believe in the idea that you dreamed up your own place in the world so you could create your own partially pre-chosen experiences within the world? Personally, I like the latter.

“Knowing that there’s this interconnectedness of the universe, that we are all interconncected and that we are connected to the universe at is fundamental level, I think is as good an explanation for spirituality as there is.” – Dr. Stuart Hameroff

Illusion #4: Conditions – outside events and experiences – sometimes just happen to you without your total control.

My New Paradigm:
I never blame chance, fate or luck for my life experiences. My life becomes what I have imagined and believed in. The world is literally my mirror, reflecting back to me the thought energy inside me.

“Is it possible that we’re so conditioned to our daily lives, so conditioned to the way we create our lives, that we buy the idea that we have no control at all? We’ve been conditioned to believe that the external world is more real than the internal world. This new model of science [Quantum Physics] says just the opposite. It says what’s happening within us will create what’s happening outside of us.” – Dr. Joseph Dispenza

In the ground-breaking quantum fable titled What the Bleep Do We Know (the one that Dr. Dispenza gives some pretty poignant ideas to consider about life and your role in it), the filmmakers do a pretty remarkable job – thru part documentary, part narrative drama, and part visual hallucinogen – explaining how the world’s of science, psychology, medicine, metaphysics and human development have all converged to support one Universal Truth: you are the primary cause for everything (yes everything) in your world – and that you can change the effect at any time.

Quantum physics (which, in a nutshell, is the physics of probabilities), begins to explain how you are in direct manipulation of your entire physical world, but you may not be aware of this fact.

In other words, it may appear to you as if reality is happening to you (because of your limited interpretation thru your 5 physical senses), while all along you are happening to reality, regardless of your intentions or awareness of doing so.
At the root of every problem, need, or opportunity, there is only consciousness, or thought energy unhindered by ego. From consciousness (being in a state of alert awareness of yourself and your surroundings), all things flow. Consciousness creates and directs everything. The entire spiritual, scientific and medical communities are all now agreeing that we, as a collective consciousness, are at the beginning stages of ‘waking up’ from just how powerful we are (and have always been) in being able to affect everything we experience in life. It’s been said that ‘we have grown in our science and technology, yet now we will grow in our Consciousness.

And this will be the greatest growth of all, making all the rest of our advances look insignificant by comparison’.

Quantum Physics, because it describes the invisible cause (normal Newtonian Physics describes the visible effects), explains how everything in your world comes to be and it WILL be this form of science which will help you clearly see how to harness this invisible force of consciousness to work miracles in your life. It is science finally catching up with spirituality and common sense, and explaining it!
As David Cameron writes, “think about it; when someone tells you that anything is possible if only you believe, aren’t you more likely to believe that when you know how, step-by-step and scientifically, your belief shifts the universe and produces what you believe in?”

Quantum Physics doesn’t tell you what to think; however, as it focuses on the study of the building blocks of the universe (the unseen, as of yet, infinite possibilities), it does give you a clear foundation to start with when truly trying to understand how your thinking (and beliefs) create what you eventually see.

All quantum scientists agree on one thing: No solid object is really solid. Even something so obviously inanimate as a table, for instance, is made up of rapidly flashing energy 'packets' or quanta. Billions and billions of packets of energy that flash in and flash out of that space where the table 'appears'.

Based off years of study, experiments and congruent research papers, it is now accepted that an electron (energy packet) is not a precise entity, but exists as a potential, or sum, of all probabilities until the act of observing or measuring it 'freezes' it, or pins it down, to a single state.

Once we are through looking or measuring (once we withdrawal the attention), the electron becomes a probability again.

Everything in the universe – all matter – is made up of these fluctuating, highly-mobile, subatomic energy packets. Therefore, all matter acts exactly like a large group of sub-atomic particles would. A table's 'being there' is a result of us all watching it being there and deciding it to be there.

It is not a wholly independent existence. The point?

Nothing exists independently of your perception of it. There's a lot more (much, much more) science to support this notion (that the act of observation is what really makes probability-based matter a 'definite' thing or 'concrete' object); however, for now, just know that quantum physics is the real world and you draw in from this unseen sub-atomic world according to your intention, expectation and beliefs about what is and isn't possible for you.

“We’re living in a world where all we see is the tip of the iceberg. The immense tip of a quantum mechanical iceberg.” – John Hagelin, Ph.D.

Illusion #5: Like the beads on a necklace, time exist as a string of identical ‘moments’ and we experience the moments – the whole of our life – as "played at once”, start to finish.

My New Paradigm: Now is the only moment that exists. My life only happens right now. I can remember the past and dream the future but I can only be and exist Here Now. Now is How!

It was a day I’ll never forget. At 17, you don’t expect to be so moved by anything other than a high-speed car chase, talking about sex, or listening to your favorite rock band live; however, on one cold December day in 1987, I heard these words from my high school basketball coach: "...To rise above mediocrity you have to consistently act in the present. You won't make it on my team living off of past accomplishments or thinking about who you may someday become. Operate out of your comfort zone! If you come in here [the gym] focusing on hard work and proving yourself everyday -- if you concentrate your energy on the here and now, I promise you that your future will take care of itself." --Coach Steve King

Being motivated then – soaking up the meaning of this little pep-talk – and being in-tune with what he means now are almost two completely different points of view. Then I heard, “focus Barry, it’s about focus.” Now I hear, “Uhmmmm, the here and now, the here and now; I wonder, yes I wonder is there really any other real place?” Experience tells us that Time is very different from space: we don’t all share the same place, but we do all share the same time; we can move around in space in a variety of directions, or stay put, as we choose, but move inexorably through time, and only in one direction. Above all, unlike space, time passes. Or does it? The secret about time, according to quantum physics, spiritual studies and our understanding of eternity, is that it’s not the linear constant you perceive it to be. For years the scientific community has been trying to convey that not only is time more illusory than you think, it’s also a slippery mixture of your past, present and future.

Like frames in a movie, the universe is nothing more than a series of separate ‘instants’. The illusion we have of them appearing simultaneously, in a sequence that seems to flow forward, is because our so-called thinking-mind (not our inner-still expanded consciousness or higher awareness) is conditioned for us to see very narrow sections of the space-time continuum at a go. So, we only see one small slice, then the next, then the next, and so on.

Zen Master Seung Sahn elaborated on this topic in his excellent book The Compass of Zen. Referring to how a strip of movie film has separate, but complete, frames that are still (not moving):

“Our minds and the whole universe are like that. This world is impermanent. Everything is always changing, changing, changing, moving, moving, moving, nonstop. Even one second of our lives seems full of so much movement and change in this world that we see. But your mind--right now--is like a lens whose shutter speed is one divided by infinite time. We call that moment-mind. If you attain that mind, then this whole world's movement stops. From moment to moment you can see this world completely stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Like the film, you perceive every frame-- this moment--which is infinitely still and complete. In the frame, nothing is moving. There is no time, and nothing appears or disappears in that box. But this movie projector--your thinking mind-- is always moving, around and around and around, so you experience this world as constantly moving and you constantly experience change, which is impermanence. You lose moment-mind by following your conceptual thinking, believing that it is real."

St. Augustine suggested that maybe time is measured in the mind. It is not an event itself that is measured, but instead, the impression that it leaves on the mind. This is what is meant by psychological time to a large extent.

Everything we call "the past" is, literally, nothing but present memories. Likewise, everything we call "the future" is nothing but present memories inverted, or rearranged, to form a prediction or expectation. In other words, the appearance of "time" is little more than a trick of memory. You can easily discern this for yourself: simply figure out what it is you consider "the past" and "the future." You will discover that it is nothing but thoughts – nothing but memories, nothing but expectations, nothing but mental commentary. It's "all in your head," so to speak.

There's really no such thing as time. There is really only Now – an eternally present Present with no beginning and no ending. Everything is completely new, distinct, and original every instant, with no real "change" or "motion" at all.

The mystic-philosopher Heraclitus, explaining this point, said, "A man cannot step in the same river twice." (If you think hard enough about it, there’s a lot of wisdom contained in that simple statement).

“Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place and this too will be swept away.” – Marcus Aurelius (121-180 A.D.)

A Japanese warrior was captured by his enemies and thrown into prison. That night he was unable to sleep because he feared that the next day he would be interrogated, tortured, and executed. Then the words of his Zen master came to him, "Tomorrow is not real. It is an illusion. The only reality is now." Heeding these words, the warrior became peaceful and fell asleep. Okay, okay, so about now ya just might be asking: “Can understanding that time is an illusion really serve us in our quest to manifest our desires?" Well, that’s exactly the question I asked one of the mentors featured in Vol. 1 of Conversations With the World’s Top Manifestation Mentors.

The short version of his response, paraphrased, was: “It is related to manifesting, in fact there are specific benefits of mastering holographic time [understanding that everything happens in the here and now and perceiving time as directly linked to your consciousness, not fragmented moments placed beside each other on a one-way line].

You become more centered, patient and focused. You can achieve clarity in your desires and what you really want, which helps you to manifest whatever you desire, because of that clarity. It also helps you to understand your emotional state and create them at will …”

And, as a corollary to the benefits of understanding the true nature of ever-present-moment time, Deepak Chopra, in his book The Book of Secrets, suggests that even though ‘time’ is essential to functioning in this world, the conditionings of the past must be released, and the anxiety and fantasy projections of the future, must not be allowed to control our lives. He says the misuse of time (which is a symptom for misplaced attention) can bring about the following:

  • Being anxious about the future
  • Reliving the past
  • Regretting old mistakes
  • Anticipating tomorrow
  • Racing against the clock
  • Resisting change

Once you understand that you can change how you perceive time then you can control time in your life. Unfortunately that does not mean that you can get home in rush hour traffic in ten minutes when it normally takes you an hour. But you can control how you perceive that hour. You see man created the concept of time to help him control and categorize his world. This was done by dividing up the things he saw in nature – the seasons and the smaller time bits like the phases of the moon and the still smaller bits of the rising and setting of the sun into smaller and smaller chunks so that he could better arrange his life. Though what has been mostly forgotten is time is an illusion. If you’re still with me and like this whole fluid time idea, try this: the next time you’re in a boring situation, like say stuck in traffic, relax take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that “five minutes are as one" and repeat that several times. This will change your perception of time so though you will still have to drive those five minutes they will seem like only one minute.

And I am willing to bet that the commute won't seem nearly as long as usual. There are so many application of this concept the only real limit is your imagination.

According to David Cameron, with the understanding of that ‘time only exist in the present moment’, here’s some tips to A) quit going thru life reacting to things based off memories of the past and B) to quit misusing your imagination about the future:

“ … Most people do and see the things that occur most often in their lives in an unconscious and unaware state. Because they have seen or done something once, they turn to relying on their memories of it and labels about it that they built in their minds the first time. Learning and discovery drops to zero. Memories of the past experiences take over. What good does it serve you to live today based on your memory of it yesterday? You miss the gift of the present moment totally! In your business or work, do you take an absolutely fresh look at your work, workmates and customers each new day, or do you go by how you ‘know’ them in their past? Everything changes, and using memory keeps you from seeing that change, seeing things as they truly are. Try to ‘forget’ everything about what you looking at, and you will discover a whole new world, and you will grow a whole lot faster, grow your wealth and self a whole lot quicker.”

In reference to the future, he goes on to say:

“Do not spend all day daydreaming about a future time, saying ‘if only’, mentally escaping your present and dwelling n an imaginary tomorrow, going on about the whole day in a dreamlike state, being only half aware and conscious of the details going on in your day – these things actually slow you down on your trip to a better tomorrow. Just as it is necessary that you set future goals, it is necessary that you embrace and experience the present and act in it consciously and with awareness, if you wish to progress. Remember, the universe can only use the present moment to send you clues, people, events and opportunities to advance – it cannot use the imaginary future in your head. Instead of chasing a better future by throwing your consciousness into the future, bring it back to the present and let the future chase it there.”

What you don't know that you don't know

So, there you have it. Some keys shifts in perception about some key unquestioning beliefs that you may have grew up with. I’m not saying you even have to believe in these new shifts in thinking that I’m encouraging you to look at … cause, quite frankly dear Watson, you’re undoubtedly here on this physical plane to experience (and believe in) your OWN thoughts, ideas, desires and goals.

The 5 ideas above, that suggest looking at the world a tad differently, may pitch an unfamiliar view of everyday existence and there is no way of knowing whether you can take hold of them without letting them slip through your fingers. But, even if your ideas and beliefs about the ‘illusions’ of life DO seem to sync with mine and you CAN hold on to what I’ve said so far and perform what I list below, there is still one serious point you should consider: If they don’t serve you in your quest to make this physical experience we call “Life” PAY YOUR PRICE – to reach a state of fairly consistent happiness without feeling you have to struggle for it – then keep asking for new direction. If you need more, or other, uncommon views of the world to create what you want and be happy, then start exploring what you don't know that you don't know.
