Say you remove one of the small outer triangles – the one on the top, for example – and slide it away from the group. You move that triangle somewhere else:

α΄…Ιͺα΄… α΄›Κœα΄€α΄› ᴍΙͺα΄…α΄…ΚŸα΄‡ α΄›Κ€Ιͺα΄€Ι΄Ι’ΚŸα΄‡ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴇxΙͺκœ±α΄›?

You could say that none of these triangles exist. They are only triangles because we say that they are.

β€˜Reality’ and β€˜illusion’ are a duality… but only conceptually.

 

conceptually (adverb): terms of a concept or abstract idea.

 

An illusion has no reality, which is to say, it does not exist.

As it does not exist, there is only reality.

… does it matter, though? The minute you say “an illusion of our mind“, you are already establishing a reality. A real you and a real mind experiencing it.

Enjoy this idea (non-physical) phenomenon! Descartes said it best, “The unexamined life is not worth living.
