Life's Illusion

In this thing called life are we just illusion? Is our reality based on an illusion? Illusion is defined as, "something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality." Reality is defined as, "the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them."

Existing in reality as more than illusion may prove challenging. When we are born we are not aware of cold hard realities of life. As we grow, we are conditioned to the reality that surrounds us. Our innocence state of being is stolen and replaced by illusion and our reality is distorted by our unrealistic notions of life.

In the world we live in, we are surrounded by illusion. We are made to believe the world is a beautiful place and the reality of the world is left in the dust. We are told everything will be okay when the truth is it might not be. Our authentic selves are lost to a facade of who others want us to be in this life. We are deceived by loved ones about reality, we are mislead from real life. and we are impressionable from birth to believe the reality shown is our life.

In our vulnerability, we can fall victim to a misleading journey which can cast a mask to our authentic self. In our vulnerability, the reality of our existences can be viewed as just notions and not embraced as truth. In our vulnerability, shadows hide our actually reality. In our vulnerability, we are exposed to comfort and not uncertainty. In our vulnerability, we are sometimes shielded from the truth of the world.

Much of life is spent sleep walking in our own matrix. Although, when one really awakens reality kicks them in the ass, Once awake, we can see the world for what it really is. Once awake our mask comes off. Once awake, the illusion is exposed. Once awake our state shifts and we can see what truly exist. We only awake through vulnerability and the courage to exist in uncertainty because true reality is uncertainty. We can only stay awake when we are vulnerable with our self because the risk is to expose our own self and the illusion that has been created. One has to be brave enough to take the mask off and exist as their authentic self in the true reality that surrounds them.

What reality develops once life's illusion disappears is your authentic matrix to explore.
