“We are Being Tested”
“The Greatest Virtual Reality Game of All”
There is no illusion with God, the Universe, and Great Spirit. It’s only in the mind of the beholder on this earthly plane that illusion grows and creates even more illusion. We now wear the visor of the most powerful virtual reality game of all— but we can break free.
Let me tell you this— most of what we call a peaceful in this illusion is only peaceful because we deem it to be peaceful. Take for instance someone growing up in the middle of NYC they feel that noise in normal and thus they cannot sleep at night because they can’t hear all the noise. Thus they deem it peaceful to hear the noise of the big city.
Strive to understand yourself, within yourself you will find that which will bring peace. It’s not out there in the world, the world is full of things that change every moment. The only thing that does not change is the light that emanates from the heart. Focus on that light and see the light within and meditate on that light, make that light real in thy mind’s eye for the light is healing.
The light is the truth and all else is illusion, but play your part in this grand illusion because this is the playground for testing and purifying the soul. We are purifying the Atma (pure being) via playing our part in this grand illusion of the Most High. Playing our part in the illusion is the fire that will burn away all which is not needed. When we purify gold we have to crush the rock, add acid to it, and burn away all that’s not of pure gold. And to have a heart of gold we have to burn away all that is not love. To think only loving thoughts and to only have only loving actions is the final goal.
Be not afraid of what you call reality it’s just an illusion, a special order illusion made to fit you. Every little thing that happens is trying to get you to surrender your will to that of God, the Universe, and Great Spirit. Ego is burning bright in most hearts but when that darkness fades the great light of love will take it’s place. Light and darkness cannot reside in the same heart. Take for instance walking into a dark closet with a match— all darkness disappears. But if we turn on the light in the closet and hold her hands close to bring some darkness into the closet and open her hands the darkness disappears. Light is always more powerful than darkness and always will be.
Love thy neighbor as thyself, but first of all remember to love thyself. If the heart is filled with ego and darkness how can one love someone else? Only once we learn to love the one see in the mirror can we spread love to others. Let go of the past, forgive, forget, and move on for life is very short. This is the first thing we have to do in order to move towards the light.
You are being tested in this grand illusion so ask God, the Universe, and Great Spirit for guidance.
Many Blessings to Everyone!

If the world is an illusion meant to be transcended, why does it exist at all?
To answer your question, letâs study the following words of Param Pujya Dada Bhagwan, an Enlightened being, very carefully. He says: âThis puzzle has come about on its own, governed by the laws of science. I am telling you that this world is run only by Scientific Circumstantial Evidences. In Gujarati, I call it 'Vyavasthit Shakti'... It is all run by scientific circumstantial evidences. The whole world is run by this energy. These words are not easy to understand, unless
