About the Illusion of Reality series
Do you believe that the world we live in really exists? Could it be that it is all a creation of our imagination or a false or misleading impression? After all, a stone appears to be solid because you can feel it’s texture and weight. However, we all know that its solid appearance is all an illusion. In fact, it’s composed of zillions of atoms just like everything else. Take sound as another example. The brain interprets all the particles of soundless energy detected by your eardrums, but it all takes place in your mind! Hence the illusion of reality.
