| Chapter 4: Illusion Of Life |
What if everything around you,
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know,
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection,
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks,
Is that all you want to be
Would you find yourself...find yourself afraid to see?
What if all the world's inside of your head?
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you're really all alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the words,
You can't choose to believe
Are you hiding in the trees?
Now you're hiding in your dreams
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know,
Is an elaborate dream?
--Nine Inch Nails, Right Where It Belongs
I've often wondered, what if the world as we know it is just an illusion? I've read things that tell you that everything is made of energy, and that when you aren't looking at something, its merely a wave, and that because everything is made of energy, its all connected, and you have the ability to change anything in your life that you want. Does this all count as illusion? What if you are the only one experiencing the things you experience? The people you interact with, are all experiencing their own lives, something completely different and separate from what we are.
I do believe everything is an illusion, and there is no one person who will have the same experience of the same event as another person, because not only are there different angles, but there are different thoughts, and different direct contact. Nothing is as it seems. And we have the power to change it. |

"In that way it's like you're telling it's history without knowing where it's going, or that maybe where it's come from was designed in advance, or even more amazing, that where it's gone was all a patient thing that this person wanted to do so that then it could appear to be there while it slowly becomes clear (even more in hindsight) that it was all planned and that all our thoughts were designed for us by our vision of what's to come."
