Albert Einstein said, "The more Knowledge we acquire, the more mystery we find. A human being is part of the Whole, called by us, the Universe - A part limited by time and space. She, or he, experiences one self, one's thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical illusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison, for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves, from this prison, by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature in It's beauty." To embrace our experience, not deny it, is one of the keys to "spiritual freedom." To understand, that as we evolve the ''One" evolves, brings realization of God's presence, within all aspects of creation, including ourselves. This "One Life" evolves Itself through our experience. It lives, moves, breathes, and has It's Being through us - as we live, move, breath, and have our Being through It. We are the vehicles of change and evolution.

To name our experiences as, "not real," can sometimes serve to negate the value of ownership, exploration, and the choice for change. If none of this truly exists, including ourselves, "What is our Purpose of Being?" We will explore the subtleties between an illusion - " That which has no point of existence, except an 'appearance' that disappears upon investigation;" and, a delusion - " A convoluted and distorted perception of the Truth."
