The sense of self is inevitable, it's how the reality is constructed now. It's not an illusion, it's a kind of perspective that is the manifestation of reality now. You can collapse the self and realize the reality directly, without the filter of duality, not perceiving anything but being it directly, but even so the self is registering. The self is doing a map in background always. Because the self wants to be transparent to allow direct vision then it need a map to don't get confused. Anyway, no map works, better don't try that, everything is very confusing from the mind

I think so too

Yes but what I mean is, from the perspective: reality is an illusion that conciousness is creating, then any realization about nothingness, fullness, anything, would be just an image that conciousness creates. It's a weird perspective . Those who say: reality is an illusion, only god is real, how they know that god is not another illusion? 

One who asks whether God is just another illusion is asking this within the illusory split consciousness. Truth cannot be proven in limitation; it comes when illusion is let go. To do this look through the world you see, to feel a presence that cannot be doubted, because it is what you are. Until then, all ‘realizations’ of nothingness, fullness, emptiness etc. are shadows dancing on a wall. Beyond them is a light that you did not invent and cannot deny. That is the experience of God, and always call to you.

The point is: is the perception real or an illusion. I mean what is perceived . In my opinion it's absolutely real. 

Some days ago if someone would tell me: no, it's an illusion. I would think, he's totally deceived. But now I will try to think...let's imagine if he's right and I'm wrong. 

All illusions are completely real within the illusion. Only stepping outside them are they seen to be nothing - never real, never true, never anything at all.

I don't know, I think that the illusion is the perception of a center, but reality is just real.

For me illusions cast a veil upon reality. We want the veil while we believe we are a person living as best we know. Realizing we are not and dropping the veil and returning to where we never left are one and the same event.

another day another thing, sometimes again one, or the other. So I was thinking, what is real? Then I realized that all are real because they are facets of the unlimited. 

BAM. That's what I am talking about.

But the question would be? Those visions are real or are just visions created by the self?

Two sides of the same coin. Appearances are real, reality is conscious, conciousness is illusory, illusions are reality. Different ways of saying / pointing to the exact same thing.

The World Is Illusion.

Only Brahman Is Real.

The World Is Brahman.

You are correct from where you are standing. So, from there, wouldn't it be nice to take a break, even if it were just temporary, from the identity of the self and just Be? Some amazing things could happen.

I find I can’t make my self “turn off”

Yeah, what is "illusion" is the perception of a limited self when the reality is the limitless flow, but when your heart is open and a quality is perceived, this quality is not perceived, it is. Then that perception is the reality. The world is Brahman because you are that, and when you perceive yourself totally it's just the totality being 

If the self ceases to perceive itself as closed, it perceives itself as flow, and flow is perceived as absolute glory. This sounds like arbitrary mysticism, but it isn't. Absolute glory means being. Everything that is, is that, since it is unlimited. Its limitlessness gives it that character of glorious, perfect, open, open-hearted, non-human love, but love that is

The self, due to its structure, can completely close itself off from this glory. A moment ago, I perceived it, and it was it. To be was to perceive; there is no perceiving, there is to be. It doesn't matter what appears, it is to be, it is complete, it is glory. But if now someone tells me that there is a problem , I only see that, I focus on a single point like a laser. There is no glory anymore, there is closure. The normal thing is to live in constant closure. But deny the closure is also a mistake, it's a function of the self

I’ve heard similar stories. So far I’ve only been close to the emptiness rather than the full aliveness

Don't worry, it's the same thing. Just different expression.

@Sugarcoat That's the crux of the matter and is what stands between anyone and God.  Would make for a good topic." How do I turn off being "me" even if it's just temporary".

 To put in my two cents worth, it takes total surrender. Anything less than total surrender of the self-identity just won't do. Plus developing a still mind through a meditation practice helps a great deal. Also, it doesn't hurt to be in a neutral environment so nothing in your surroundings reminds you of you. And then you just let it all go and "STOP" being you. Leave it all behind and just "Be". That's when the magic happens and you expand in infinite directions with no limitations such as space and time to define you. Space/ time/self are all constructs of the mind to be let go of.
