I live constantly between reality and Illusion.
I don’t know where ends or begins the other.
What’s reality? Isn't illusion part of reality? 
Or is reality part of illusion? But what’s illusion after all?

Between thin lines, 
I see the shore of those broken ideas.
Along the springs of my heart,
I see flows against tides.

Where do I belong?
What do I seek?
It is me or does everything seem blurry?
I am a capital energy of this passivity place.

I am real. Am I?

Reality & illusion both are such things which work at the same page but in a different way: one takes the life to emptiness so the other leaves it to the forsaken pages of voids. Whether it's 'bout reality or illusion, one thinga's sure, the heart suffers the most in b/w that. Thought provoking concept you've come up with.

Who's the one asking these questions? That one is beyond reality or illusion.. Reality and illusion are merely mental concepts, they are created, but have no valid basis of existence.. They don't seem to exist apart from the conceptual world. As the one that you are, something that is changeless, so as to say not your personality or gross body, is  always static. Something that does not change and is ever there, existing in and out of itself is in the notion of the mind a truth. And a truth should very well be real.

Yet all that lies within the mind are concepts or notions, anything we observe or experience is in theory an illusion, it is changing and never has a static point in existence. It is fluid, like a dream. We could say, though, there is nothing else but experience, which should be illusionary; could it not be truth after all then? As What we don't experience, doesn't seem to happen, it only appears as a blank memory in our lives. If there is nothing else than experiencing things, then this illusion should be as real as the changeless and static truth: You; to whom it happens. 

Thus, it ends in a paradox, for nothing could be truth and it's opposite after all, at the same time. This is not how the mind and ideas work. Ideas fixate only on one point of view and negate the other. Yet there are ideas which fixate on both and end up being paradoxes, something that should be avoided; so say the philosophers. Should it be like that, though?

So first, we said; that the You is the only truth; then we came to the point where illusion is nonexistent. In theory, it means that there should be no difference between you and the realm of concepts, the world, the mind. But in real life it seems to be so different. As we seem to be conditioned to believe we are different entities, with different identities.

To put things in practice, to experience the real, which should always be here, right now; is not only to depend on the mental concept of knowing what is the truth, yet also on a grosser level, to experience the truth and get intuitive knowledge of the truth. To mix both the rational and intuitive knowledge, is to bring together the two extremes once more. Remember the paradoxes, don't choose one side; choose both. There seems to be a little trick to this, and that is to go within your inner cosmos and look for answers to who and what you are, look for answers of every philosophical concept; become kind of crazy on the road there. And in the end meet Socrates, the one who knows Nothing. 

All what I've just said is as unreal as any thought, idea or material things. Though to stop dreaming and live in reality, you need to find a dream door with a dream key to get outside the dream world.

All could be summarized into this: 
It is as it is.

Nothing more, nothing less!


I hope I didn't bore you with this! I can't help but answer to existential questions or poetry!! I'm cursed :) :) :)
