My friend,
Although it is often said that the world that we experience in is an "illusion", this is only partially true. Our existence is real insofar as our five senses are reporting to our consciousness the results of what they see, hear, taste, feel and touch. Our physical senses respond to the vibrations that are offered to us on the physical plane. Interpretation of these impressions makes the physical world "real" when perceived by our consciousness.
However, the physical realm is an illusion when it is compared against the True Reality, the reality of the Original Divine Kingdom, which is ever-existent and does not change. Physical reality is constantly changing. Everything is born, flourishes, and then dies. Rising, shining and fading are the hallmarks of physical existence. This physical realm was never intended to be an eternal home for humanity. It is a temporary domain where humanity must experience many lessons - some of them quite harsh - in order to find out that the physical world is NOT the True Reality. With this realization in hand, we can then begin to search for the Path of Return that will take us back to our Divine home.
So, yes, we experience in an illusion but we must not make the mistake of thinking that this illusion is not real. We can compare it to a dream. While we are asleep and dreaming, our dream is as real as it can be.We are totally immersed in the dream experience. The dream is all that exists for us. The dream is all that matters. The outside world still exists but our eyes (and to a certain extent our ears as well) are closed to the outside world during this period of sleep. We are insensate to all physical impressions as long as we are asleep and dreaming. That is the best analogy that I can give about the nature of this illusion.
So there is a True Relaity that is waiting for us to return to it but we must first awaken from the Dream.
We are living in special times. There is a Transformation taking place, a transformation of the Earth and of her humanity. Part of this transformation process requires that the reflection-sphere (the so-called heaven worlds) must be cleansed, purified. As a result, the veil between the physical plane and the astral plane has thinned considerably. Astral plane phenomena are increasingly becoming a part of the physical world. Such things should be acknowledged but we should not agonize over them or focus upon them too much. Maintain an objective and neutral viewpoint if or when you perceive any of it.
The people that we meet in our lives are souls pursuing their own development. They are only "shadows" insofar as all physical forms are composed of light energy, condensed and compressed into particular densities and shapes. What is real about most of the people that we engage with is the Divine Spark, the light of the Universal Spirit that lives in the center of their microcosm in a location that correponds to the region of the human heart. Every human contact should be a soul-to-soul contact. That is what matters. This is why we are always advised to look beyond the physical when we encounter one another. Our contacts with each other should be silent conversations that take place at a much deeper level.
Try to approach human contact with these things in mind. Perhaps it will help.
There is never a time when those who are able to do so are not working the harvest. It has always been said that "The harvest is great and the workers but few". All hands are required to be on-deck and attending to their tasks during this period of harvest. Every moment is an opportunity to touch another human-being and to assist in their development and in the raising of their consciousness. Not merely with words but with the Silent Power that radiates from an awakened Divine Spark. Such individuals must be willing and able to share with humanity the Universal Light-Power that they are receiving.
Yes, we have to Live, Work, Eat, etc. But those who have awakened to the knowledge that there is an ever-existent, Divine Reality that awaits our return will be able to navigate this Dream, this "ïllusion", with feet on the ground while their heads are in the clouds. Now remember: do not discount the Illusion. The illusion has its purpose. There are Lessons that we have to learn, Karma that must be balanced, Experiences that must be shared. These things can only be properly done while we are incarnate in the physical illusion. So, we continue to do our duty in this world but do not aspire to worldly things. We strive to remain detached, neutral, and objective about all physical plane phenomena. We keep the following ancient axiom in mind always:
"Be IN the world but not OF the world".
