- Go to Illusion: An Erroneous Perception of Reality

You are so right! The reality we have now is necessary for us to learn about other possible realities. We can't have one without the other.

Many of us are waking up. But many of us continue to snore loudly, oblivious to what is transpiring.

I agree. We are far from hopeless. We just need to add more of those who understand to the ranks so that our reality can change.

How can this be seen as True?
Every illusion has a certain truth of its own. Looking at the depiction, on paper, of Aristotle's geocentric solar system, we see an erroneoous picture of how the solar system is, but it is a true picture of how it appears to be, from Earth.
Stopping to look for how an illusion's own particular Truth can be a very valuable and mind-opening exercise!

I am reminded of a passage from "Conversations with God"....
that suggested the reason we have "given" much of our power away to authorities is because we haven't been truly ready to claim it. It is in the keeping of providence, part of the plan, when we decide to have it back. So if you look at it that way, we can realize that even the way the world is at the moment is our choice on some level. But I think it has began to budge in a big way and thats why there's so much disturbance at the moment; were waking up!

Your words ring true. The world is lost, but not because of something that is out of its ability to change. I would daresay that it is created in the space of seeking to find something that would bring change.
