When humans first gained consciousness, I believe,
they only had to behold reality as it appeared, and to make speculations from
what they saw, heard, perceived, and felt. The world faired well. Our present
age has destroyed this wall and has erected the false doctrine of complete falsities.
Today, our world is perverted with series of
talks on the inconsistency and frailty of human perception, how we create
realities that do not exist and never will. The great thinkers tell us that our
senses altogether deceive our minds, and now, we are drawn the more to the
conclusion that nothing really exists—that all things are ILLUSIONS. How true?
I
marvel at this level of insanity. It began slowly with a few affronts against
religion, pronouncing the belief in heaven and the Creator as false,
delusive—illusive. A man has written a book called, The God Delusion. Today, men do not only declare heaven “not real,”
the earth, the entire universe, according to our own modern quantum physics, is
also declared inexistent. Today, we hear also that the idea of individuality is
yet another illusion. “Not real,” “Not
real” has filled the mouth of real
humans who are supposed to be living in a real
world. All blames strictly go to our senses: that there are faulty, that they
present false realities to us, and that nothing
is actually what we think it is. Indeed, according to these new beliefs,
nothing is truly real. Amazing!
But, if everything we perceive is an
illusion, if nothing is real, if the entire universe is just a sensory make-up,
what is this great “thing” that knows that all things are not real? Can a deception spot out deceptions? For
certain things not to be real, other things must surely be real. If nothing was
real, there could not have been a “Not real,” and finally, it is our very
knowledge of reality that gives birth to the knowledge of illusion. Therefore,
for one to say that all things are not real is to make a great blunder, for the
speaker must be real to know and SAY that all
things truly don’t exist. The senses deceive, yes; our minds deceive;
yes—but not always, and not in regards to ALL things.
Perhaps,
our senses and minds lead us to false perceptions, but we can actually not know
that our perception is faulty without the same senses and mind that once misled
us. It is clear therefore that we can’t
do without these, and therefore can’t completely condemn these great organs and
declare them worthless.
I see to it therefore that all things are not
illusive. How can we ever KNOW that everything is false, except there is at
least one real entity—our knowledge or our cognizant being? This sort of
speculation or science, though quite appealing to the mind, are but human
madness at its peak; nature, logic, and faith certainly do not agree to this
hilarious “delusions” doctrine.
