Some will say they take a little bit of this and that from various sources and it forms a foundation that resonates for them .

This is quite a reasonable approach rather that digesting the entirety of one sect and making it one's foundation of truth .

As we have discussed previously, for someone to walk around the world pointing to people saying you are not real and you are illusory and you are part of my dream is borderline bonkers ..

It's not how they actually live and these notions are not realised either .

Perhaps some can see the madness in this, perhaps not .

I think living life is the greatest teacher, not living the words of other's (who could be nothing more that dream characters lol) and making it their foundation .

The funny thing is that devoted peeps will defend their beloved/s when their foundation doesn't support them as being real individuals .

That's kinda bonkers .. This is why I keep pointing back to peeps foundations and pointing out what is said that supports their foundations and what doesn't .

That's all peeps have to do, is understand their own foundation .

That's a misunderstanding of Advaita non-duality. In the context Advaita "unreal" and "illusion" are metaphors for transient and I'm as "unreal" and "illusory" as you.

It's just a metaphor for the impermanent. I'll refer back to what I said about the heat death of the universe. It too is "unreal" and "illusory" in this context. It hasn't always existed and will not always exist, however Existence always Is. In the dream analogy Existence is the dreamer and the universe the dream.
