Love The Illusion

By Leo Gura - June 6, 2025

This is so deliciously counter-intuitive.

You should want reality to be an illusion. It’s a common mistake to be horrified that everything is an illusion. Reality being a total illusion is the best way reality could be. As you do philosophy and truth-seeking, you should be giddy with excitement at the idea that everything will turn out to be an illusion. You should want nothing to be real. You should want humanity to be an illusion. You should want all human goals to be illusions. You should want physics and science to be illusions. You should want Christianity and Buddhism to be illusions. You should want everything to be your own imagination, because that is the coolest way for reality to be. The greater the mindfuck, the more profound reality is, the more beautiful.

Don’t you see? We don’t need the physical or social world to be real — that’s an inferior form of meaning. The meaning of life shouldn’t come from any particular thing being real, it should come from the realization that you live inside of God’s Mind, inside an Infinite Dream. Don’t you see? It is so much more meaningful, so much more beautiful that you’re imagining the world than that you are in a “real” world. Reality has the most beautiful design: an Infinite Illusion. Don’t get bummed out by this, fall in love with illusion. You are an Infinite Illusion falling in love with itself. Nothing could be more meaningful because nothing could be more profound. Don’t you see? It’s more beautiful that your children are a metaphysical illusion than that they are a physical reality. The love for your children is so much more profound when you realize that they are figments inside of God’s Mind! Wow!

You want love to be infinitely flexible, unbounded by physical reality. You want metaphysical love. You want unlimited love. Unlimited love requires Infinite Imagination: the power to imagine entire worlds. This means the worlds are imaginary. If love was limited by physical reality, it couldn’t be Infinite Love! Your physical views are too small to be contain Truth/Love. You want love to transcend physics. Don’t you see? You want your love for your children to transcend their physical existence. The only way to love your children forever is if they exist inside an Eternal Mind! You want the physical division between you and your children to be imaginary! You want UNITY. UNITY is only possible if all difference is imaginary! Don’t you see? God has already thought all this shit through. God is designed to maximize love. Which is why physical reality is an illusion. Stop resisting the genius of the design. Embrace it. Trust in the beauty of illusion and be at peace.

I invite you to fall head-over-heels in love with illusion.

I invite you to fall in Love with Yourself.
