I agree, and I trust only in that one.

No illusion here, no, what is illusory is the temporal self, the title. Life is not an illusion, but that which says ''I live'' is an illusion.

Yes, illusions appear real, but illusions appear and disappear...while the master of all illusions is eternal, unchanging, and ever present.
