Illusion

While the non-dual Consciuosness, which is beyond space and time is there for ever, in the dual universe that originated from Oneness both Consciousness and dumbness exist along with illusion, for example, illusion makes the mind appear like Consciousness. Being dumb as opposed to Consciousness is not necessarily ugly nor useless. On the contrary, it is beautiful and very useful in the sense that it is a building block of the dual universe. So also, illusion is not something to be shunned at. It is fun. I realized this when I went to Disney World and watched a 3D show by Kodak. The show began with many mice running away from the screen towards us when all the lights were turned off and then we felt the mice tickling our feet. The audience laughed instead of being annoyed. They knew that mice were not really tickling their feet and simply enjoyed the fact that the feeling was an illusion. There were other episodes in the show and the final one was the biggest thrill. A python first appeared on the screen and slowly started moving towards us. The nearer it came, the louder was the laughter in the room. When it finally reached us and opened its mouth to swallow us, the room was filled with roaring laughter. Why? because illusion is fun when we know that it is illusion. There were also some weak-minded people like me who closed their eyes although we knew very well that the python is merely an illusion and not real. Isn't the power of illusion amazing that it can get you even when you know it is not real! There were one or two children in the room who cried out of fear. So, illusion can cause misery if we think it is real.
