Thought Creates Our 'Reality'

Thought Creates Our' Reality'.

Our ' reality' is really an illusion.

Just as you believe in a dream while you are dreaming it, once you
wake up, you know it was not real.

So, when we die, which we will, we will understand that our lives
were an illusion.

Hard to believe though while you are enthralled by the display of
colours and form.

I saw a video a while ago when someone asked the great Rupert Spira the following
question. I am doing this from memory so I  am most likely not using the actual words used.

'When we see a flower and go up to the flower , smell it, touch it, rather than seeing the flower
as an external entity that we're encountering , would it be in accordance with this understanding
to see the experience of sight, smell, touch as modulations of consciousness, rather than something external we are coming in contact with ?'

Rupert Spira answered;

'Yes, that's right.Take the experience of seeing, touching and smelling the flower.
Take seeing to begin with. Are we sure there is a flower outside the experience of seeing ?'

' We say we are seeing a flower, but, in fact, all we can know is that I am experiencing seeing.

The object seen is never found.
It is not seeing the flower , it is just seeing.'

' And when we smell the flower we think' I am smelling the flower'.
but it is , in fact, just the experience of smelling, We never find the
' of the flower'.
And it is the same with tasting and touching.
So when we say we see , hear, touch, taste and smell the world our only knowledge is the 5
sense perceptions.

Nobody has ever found any world that exists in its own right

So we cannot say there is hearing, touching, tasting, seeing or smelling of the world.'

It is thought that creates our 'reality'.
