This topic is somehow one of the most difficult to understand intuitively, although it is quite understandable at the conceptual level .
a wrong point of view
But what do we mean when we say that everything we experience is like an illusion? Basically, we usually say that what happens to us individually, and those around us, happens to all of us in the same way, This is a wrong point of view, it usually doesn't happen.
For example, when two people go to a museum and see a work of art, each one has their individual point of view, their own preference for colors, strokes, images, even when it comes to the same work of art, they are two appreciations. different, it is then that it is affirmed that when we experience something it is like an illusion, when the other creates his own mental images and you yours about something or someone ... from this angle we can affirm that what we think of the other is an illusion because no We really know what is going through your mind, we just assume it or imagine it ... this is how an illusion is only perceived by the one who experiences it.
karmic vision of life
When we see a landscape it can be beautiful or bleak depending on the person who observes it, isn't it? This is usually the result of what is known as karmic propensities or karmic vision of life that is nothing other than everything that we It influences our culture, country, profession and relatives, in our vision or preference of a thing, person or phenomenon, somehow we create illusions from what we keep in our mind and project it abroad, to those around us. In other people it is the same, they create realities from their different and varied life experiences.
Why is it called illusion?
Why is it called illusion? Because it is real and valid only for those who experience it. As when we dream the experience is unique and individual and although we tell others the same dream, they can only understand it from their own point of view and conditions, it is very difficult for them to experience what we tell them because they simply were not the ones who they dreamed it, this is how the world we experience is like an illusion, it is real because it happens but the perception of it depends on the conditions of each individual who experiences it.
This is a topic of great importance to interact with others in a more functional way, because when we look at something or comment on a subject we can know that there is a meaning of what I say and another that is the one of the listener according to its previous history, its experiences and the surrounding environment.
believe we know everything about everyone ...
This is how respect for the ideas of others arises and most importantly compassion to understand that as much as we believe we know everything from everyone, we really only own what we as individuals perceive and interpret, if someone suffers perhaps We value it as ten percent sad, but how do we really know how much and depth someone is sad? ... we can guess, but not affirm. We can imagine each other's shoes but we cannot experience their emotions and feelings exactly.
The world as an illusion is a vast subject in Eastern cultures, and leads to important discoveries to undo the solid selfishness or self-centered vision that we normally experience, especially when we understand that we cannot be the absolute truth of everything, such lucky time only a good approximation.
