As a spiritual person, I can understand how everything is connected at the atomic or sub-atomic level, but there are still distinctions between 'self' and 'other' and between 'subject' and 'object' and about existing and orienteering my position within space and time, when all of that is just a product of my mind...and I cannot explain to myself how that can possibly be....and lordy, how I have tried because I want to know...I want to feel this.
Whenever I watch this video, I'm forever going "I don't get it...I WANT to get it, but I just don't get it". lol
Now I am wondering if this is basically only me, or do others also struggle with wondering if things exist ONLY because we see them or they wouldn't exist otherwise?....nope, don't get it

I agree with your thoughts on the video, I clicked on it but it was too long for this moment, I'll try to watch it tonight.
For me the idea of illusion I think is a term that has been used for a very long time and from a time in which we knew less of physics. I think all the illusion is, is our general assumption at birth that what we see is what there is. More of what I was trying to get at was that in the opening of the video it seemed to make an importance of personal realities and for me I think that in the creation of everything there is an importance of space-time inseparability and dimensional distinctions meaning that at this point in overall reality there is a great number of personal realities which I would say create a collective reality which expresses a certain bit of restriction in reation to each other but as you progress towards unitiy restriction is thus reduced. Currently I'm working out a model which reframes the process of the big bang to make sense of the distinction of object and subject, so I believe it's entirely possible to view all of it without issue or use of words like illusion. anyways I lost my train of thought; i'll watch the video and make a better response later; cool video, thanks.
