ILLUSION CASES II

      People will tell you this or that is an illusion.

      Often they will confuse illusion with hallucination.

      For example I am seeing a little green martian that no one else
sees.  That would be either imagination, dream or hallucination, all the
same thing functionally.

      The implied martian guy doesn't exist, but my hallucination
that he exists certainly does exist.  The *HALLUCINATION* is
not an illusion, but the implied martian's existence may be.

      The fact that I consciously see something that other's don't,
doesn't mean I am hallucinating something non actual, they may merely be
blind or not tuned into my wavelength for co resonation.

      But take a simpler example, a common illusion is that the size of
the moon is bigger when its on the horizon than when not.  But hold a
micrometer upto it at arms length and you will quickly find the size
does not actually change.

      So we can correctly say that the change in size is an illusion.

But notice the illusion is about something that is actual, the moon.

      The illusion is merely the assertion that SOME of the perceived
qualities of the moon are not accurate, not that the moon doesn't exist
or is an 'illusion' itself.

      Now MEST is in fact a mass co hallucination in the fullest sense of
the word, we see conscious pictures together of an external universe,
that exists only in the seeing of it, like a sleep dream.

      I may see and even play a piano in a sleep dream, but there is no
piano made of wood in the dream, only a piano made of conscious picture
stuff.

      Same is true for the waking state, MEST is a shared CO dream
amongst many dreamers having the same dream at the same time from
different viewpoints in space.

      However the dream IS actual, and so is the I which perceives the
dream.  To assign more actuality to that which is perceived than to the
perceiver is an inversion, and results in insanity.

      Thus those who claim that 'I' is an illusion but 'MEST' is actual
are nuts.

      Some will try to get around this by saying that BOTH perceived and
perceiver are illusions, but then what is actual?

      THERE ARE NO ILLUSIONS IN THE ABSENCE OF *SOME* ACTUALITY.

      IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING TO BE AN ILLUSION.

      The stupider ones will say everything is an illusion, there is
no actuality.

      The smarter ones will run

      "What is actual?"
      "What is real?"

      until they get it squared away with perfect certainty.

      For example the existence of the colorform panoply we see around us
is actual, however the apparency that IT IS OUT THERE is an illusion.
Close one eye, that's more the truth.

      Hubbard said that 'space is a viewpoint of dimension'

      The viewpoint or conscious unit has no spatial dimension,
but can view conscious experiences OF dimension, which experiences
do not have any dimension!

      In other words, the hologram allows us to see space out there, but
the holographic film or substrate does not take up any space itself.

      Thus the hologram projecting space is actual, but space itself
is an illusion.

      Remember our definitions of reality and actuality.

      Reality is what people think is true, what is real to them.

      Actuality is what IS true.

      Reality = Illusion

      Non Lucid = Delusion about Illusion, that Reality = Actuality.
