Redgaruda, you are right on point (it is an illusion). Campbell in" My Big Toe" goes into depth on this subject about the nature of what we call reality. He says that it is a digital data stream of which our new virtual reality developments are a fractal. The new technology virtual reality games are built on the same principals as this reality that we have learned to love. PS. His conclusion is that the PURPOSE for us being in this illusion is that this reality stream gives us greater resistance or consequences of our thoughts and actions than the non physical matter reality that we can access in our dreams and imaginings which gives us an opportunity to lower our entropy and become more loving. You might like my post "Dragon Slaying" which just went up which touches on this area a bit.
