a real illusion

When you drop the body, you awaken instantly.

Yes.

You see through the illusion.

In the resulting confusion, you are given a path to follow.

You choose a path.

Obviously decline it, now that you know.

So, at death, you'd see what I'm seeing now.

Yes, but instantly.

You don't see it all at once.

They will take it seriously, you treat it as a game.

Why is that?

Time.

It's not serious.

What isn't?

Time.

Why?

It's a mind trick.

Anything in time is an illusion.

A story.

Isn't it real?

Yes.

You said it is an illusion.

A real illusion.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Who says?

I don't know, the language police?

So, they say two things can't be true at once?

I guess so.

You believe an illusion can't be true?

That's what I'm taught.

An illusion is false, so it can't be true.

Well, then it doesn't exist.

Why?

It's not true.

For something to exist, it can't be false.

Why not?

It's not true.

That's what you said.

An illusion doesn't exist because it's false.

Yes, I think that's correct.

But we are living in reality, which is an illusion.

It's true.

Well, it's true false.

Okay, what's the opposite of an illusion?

Reality.

So, reality can't be an illusion.

Why not?

It's the opposite.

Can't it be both?

I don't think so.

What is reality?

It's a story the Writer has crafted.

So, it's an illusion.

I guess so.

What about when you get lost in the story?

You swear it's real.

What happens when you dream?

You swear it's real.

But a dream is an illusion.

Yes, it's an illusion you swear is real.

So, back to the original point, which was a real illusion.

It exists.

We call it a dream.

I'll call it a story.

Yeah, I don't think I can argue this point anymore.

Why not?

Because there are real illusions.

What were we saying about time?

To sum up, I was saying a story needs time.

Storytelling builds, climaxes, and then you have the aftermath.

Sounds like sex.

It's very similar.

So, you need time to have sex?

Yes, you need vibration or nothing happens.

She will tell you to get the fuck off of her if you are just going to lie on top of her.

That's true.

So, I think what this crude wordplay is getting at is time is a function of duality.

In duality are created illusions.

I think stories work better as a word to not confuse the mind.

Why?

We are hung up on an illusion being not real.

A story we want to believe even if it isn't real.

Why?

They can be very entertaining.

So, duality is for entertaining?

Correct.

Why?

Something to do.

Non-duality is boring.

Nothing happens.
