Overstanding Falsity

The world is said to be maya, or illusion.  The natural world has a connection to the True Reality, but the world of humans has practically no connection to the True Reality.  Therefore, the actual maya, or illusion, is the mostly false world of humans.  This is not just the false world the media constantly projects.  It's also the internal false realities within humans.  The mostly false realities within humans were created by infiltration from negative forces over eons of time.  

Here are the types of falsity:

-----

False thinking/mental noise

False beliefs

False feelings

False emotions

False desires

It's up to the individual to figure out what is real.  It cannot be said what is real.  It can only be said what is not real.  (I don't take credit for saying this - it has been said by others before.)  

Source is a Good that requires no opposite.  The world of form, although constantly changing, does have an underlying reality, but the illusion is seeking to exclusively feel good within form when, as Eckhart Tolle puts it, "The seed of suffering exists within pleasure."  When subtracting every possible artificial good that manifests bad, what is left is what is real.

Not all negative emotions are false.  Not all positive emotions are true.  Negative emotions can be a tool to help point someone in a more constructive direction, or avert harm.  However, negative emotions are often used for abusive purposes in the false world. 

The primary deception of the false world is to make what causes harm feel good, and make what causes constructive direction feel bad.  One example of countless examples: Far too many people derive a twisted sense of satisfaction from negative thinking, as addicts to negative thinking.  Another example: Many people are addicted to living in a fantasy world, refusing to deal with basic problems.
