Life is an illusion

You are being lied to by your upbringing and society. You are not simply a human being in one whole, as science tells us. You can only behold the wonder of love and that of life. Just as time does not exist, we do not exist. Our body only serves to transport that gray matter of brains... Our body serves as a kind of packaging for our soul. Your soul can be anywhere and nowhere. Past, present and future do not exist. Everything happens in the now. (Survive Most people spend their whole lives reacting and surviving, with action and reaction. They forget that these actions do not come from the heart, but that the ego plays a very large role in this. Take it from me that we are not born as an 'I person'. Just look at small children. They have no ego. The ego is learned behavior that was invented to account for a particular behavior. Attacking and judging, for example, is one such reaction of the ego. The ego is the scapegoat of your will. As we become identified with our strategic selves over the course of our lives, our ego-driven responses are automatic. We interpret these from our own sensitivities. It seems as if you are responding to the world as it is, when in fact you are only responding to your own interpretations and needs. That is where the problem lies, because that makes your behavior unfree: it is controlled by the ego without you making a trade-off between different behavioral options. “When the I-consciousness disappears, that is, when the ego dissolves, there is pure awareness. Consciousness is personal, awareness is impersonal.” Now the ego may well have useful ideas and help you maintain yourself in a world that is often purely results-oriented. But if no other considerations are made, your behavior is as unfree as that of an animal that follows its instinct. In this case, the instinct whispers to you, "Whatever happens, I must make sure that I matter, that I have no flaws or flaws, or at least that they do not come to light." Too bad, because this means that other possible reactions are completely left out. Reactions that could have brought you more in touch with the other person, or with yourself, or that could have piqued your curiosity or inspiration. When the I-consciousness disappears, that is, when the ego dissolves, there is pure awareness. Consciousness is personal, awareness is impersonal.
