Do you believe this?
Perhaps the world is a humongous hallucination and we are simply watching the shadows on Plato's cave walls. This raises the philosophical epistemological question of how do we know what we know? Our physical senses lie to us all the time. Can we trust them? The bumper sticker is "Don't believe everything you think."
The mystics teach that the only truth is the non dual Oneness of God. Everything else is an illusion, what the Buddhists call "maya." St. Paul wrote that we look through the glass darkly. Christians have called the hallucination, or illusion if you prefer, this "veil of tears."
