Yes, Illusions can be just as good as Truth. Ultimately its up to the individual to decide which path they want though. No one else can create in your reality. Only Persuade.
Still All you will ever really have is the moment, like it or not... I choose to like it.
However if you choose truth, Once you start to break thought paradigms down, and regain your "infiniteness" you will discover amazing things that will set you free and give you extreme motivation to do ANYTHING.
Just a few things:
-Leaving body- OOB experiences
-Lucid dreaming
-Traveling to different amazing realms
-You will realize that no matter your situation, you are CHOOSING to feel that way. And you can CHOOSE to feel anyway you want.
