Illusory phenomena

1.      Our world consists of two aspects

2.      The real and the imaginary

3.      Contrary to what most people believe

4.      The imaginary is not inexistent

5.      In fact all phenomena are illusory-

6.      Although their causes are imperceptible

7.      Their effects are everywhere around us

8.      A sudden sound makes us turn around

9.      A sparkle of light in the dark stimulates the eyes

10.  Spontaneous flashes in the brain evoke thought

11.  Are thoughts a product of unconscious drives?

12.  An object casts a shadow in the day light

13.  The shadow contains all the properties of the object

14.  Is everything we know an image of reality?

15.  We touch an object and it feels hard and solid

16.  But it is nothing more than a picture in our mind.
