Illusion
This is what I have said and stressed in the past. If you think of something and make yourself believe in it then it becomes a reality for you albeit in your own mind-world only. May be it is an illusion. An illusion is not bad. It is not same as delusion. You do know the actual reality. Your created world is just an escape for you. You believe what you wish it to be rather than the actual reality that you may not like. There is no harm in it as long as no one is hurt or damaged by it. There is no harm in it as long as you know it is only an escape for a short while. There is no harm in to as long as you know the reality. It some how gives you more strength to face the actual reality that may be permanently there and is difficult to deal with.
No doubt this is not what most people agree with. People call it "living in the dream world". People say it is false, untrue and unhealthy. People say you should see what is actually there and not see things through the rose coloured glasses.
So when you break your illusion and break your rose tinted spectacles what happens? You see the sad or ugly reality. You knew it was there but your smoke screen of hope and wishes had made it milder. Now it is bare and strong.
Your mind is empty because your dream has gone. You feel lonely and empty. Who benefited by breaking your dream? No one.
The reason for causing you this unhappiness is that some people cannot dream. May be they do not need to because they have a world that their hearts desire.
Would you create a world that makes you happy?
sorry I was singing
Dandy Warhols 'Bohemian
like you!'
I think imagination is
the only thing that gives
us hope, more then religion,
love etc
It is the part of us no-one
can tame. Jews in the
concentration camps still
dreamt, still mused. They can't
get you there, in your head.
That is the only thing you
own.
As for the harm...well, I am no0t sure it even possible for one to have absoulutely no imagination...(though some may make an interesting arguement on that reading some of the blogs that I have)
Think on this:...
If one never saw though this illusion one would never be "let down " or think anything else wise other than their own state of reality.
There can be harm in illusions if they become addicting or that of a desireful need of a constant exscape.That's how they become disillusioned and fantasys become reality. They are traped.
Illusions , like day dreams and fantasys are healthy it's a proven fact....they also inspire one and others...after all...if people did not "have a vision or a dream" Where would this world be and how would this world look today because of so? (The art?, music?, landscaping?, rights or freedoms?...ect...)
Just some things to ponder?
