Thanks Eric; i had a dear friend that has now passed on. She use to laugh hilariously when I said all this life is like an illusion. But this quote sums it up quite well ⬇️ below.

The difference between the life known to the generality and the life which is unknown is that of illusion and reality. Man mocks at the idea if he be told that all this is illusion, until he dives deep and finds out by comparison that this life which is subject to birth and death and subject to changes is a life and yet no life. This life is like a drop of water in the sea. The drop is existent and yet in reality non-existent when compared with the sea. And yet we cannot say that the drop of water is non-existent, for it merges in the same sea in which it once appeared; so nothing takes it away but its own source and its original being.
