Why Does Reality Appear as an Illusion?

"Why does awareness need to localise itself into a mind, and how do we value life while understanding it’s an illusion? Rupert says: ‘Infinite consciousness cannot realise its infinite potential in the form of the universe, without the aid of a finite mind. Because it’s not possible for the infinite to know the finite directly . . . You cannot perceive the Caribbean beach directly from your bed in San Diego, you have to localise yourself on the Caribbean beach within your own dream . . . An illusion is not something that is unreal. It is something that is real, but is not what it appears to be . . . The world is an illusion . . . It’s not really like that, but there is a reality to the illusory world. What is that reality? Infinite consciousness or love.’"
