QRA TA 

When people who had a spiritual awakening say that reality is an illusion, what do they mean exactly?

The same thing physicists mean when they demonstrate atoms are 99% empty and anything that appears solid isn’t.

There’s ‘something’ apparently there, but it’s essentially made of Nothing. So this is Nothing appearing as Everything, real and yet simultaneously unreal, similar to how the people & stories on the movie screen are not actually ‘real,’ just a projection of light & shadows.

‘Mind’ can’t grasp this real/unreal experience, because it is already starting with the conclusion that it is a real, permanent thing and everything it perceives is also real or solid.

This intrinsic emptiness & impermanence can be glimpsed outside of ‘mind,’ in samadhi, in radical ego-collapse (awakening) and even in mind-altering substance experiences (psychedelics.)

But regardless of how you get to a temporary or sustained Nothing Being Everything perception, what’s important is what you will now do with that realization. Will you stop going to work or consuming food? Will you leave all friends & relations behind and go sit in the desert? Will you attempt walking through walls to test the empty-solidness theory?

The true value of the ‘spiritual awakening,’ in which you realize that what you thought was reality was actually just an illusion, is the direct realization/collapse of the false notion that “you” are real…that there is actually a semi-permanent ‘self’ inside this organism. There isn’t. It, too, is just an empty dharma, one more rising and disappearing phenomenon, pure consciousness-energy which seems to have condensed into a solid ‘self,’ but is still just random empty particles of energy.

Then you can go forward in the ‘world’ - as long as the body energy still remains contracted & cohesive, even ‘awakened’ ones must still interact with ‘solid’ reality - self-less-ly, impersonally, just flowing with whatever is happening, without minding or taking it ‘personally’ or thinking it ‘means’ something. Just Being with What Is. This also creates great compassion for all other temporarily ‘condensed energies,’ who, without your ego in the way, you can now selflessly serve and love without judgment or taking anything personally.

That not taking anything personally or assigning meaning to anything, that ability to exist in constant service and compassion for the world, is the real jewel of awakening, not some blissfully-detached walking around as if everything is a dream.

Awakened, life is incredibly ordinary. Only that it’s just Life life-ing…without an illusory “you.”

Those with a tendency to have lower IGF-1 levels are less likely to get cancer in the first place,878 and cancer survivors with lower levels are more likely to survive longer. 879 It’s not the original tumor that tends to kill you; it’s the metastases.880 As a growth factor, IGF-1 doesn’t just make tumors grow;881 it helps cancer cells separate from the main tumor, infiltrate surrounding tissues, and invade the bloodstream.882 IGF-1 is what helps breast cancer get into the bone,883 liver, lung, brain, and lymph nodes.884 It’s involved every step of the way, facilitating the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells to begin with, then nurturing them to survive, proliferate, self-renew, grow, migrate, invade, and, finally, stabilize into new tumors. It even helps new tumors hook up their blood supply

THE DIETARY INFLAMMATORY INDEX The widespread meta-inflammation that occurs throughout our lives appears in part to be the reaction by our immune system to many unhealthy aspects of daily living—from environmental factors, like traffic pollution and toxic chemicals, to our everyday lifestyle choices, including factors such as cigarettes, sleep, chronic stress, and level of physical activity. 1052 However, we may introduce into our body the primary driver of metainflammatory chronic disease multiple times a day—every time we eat

Generally, components of animal products and processed foods, like saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, were found to be pro-inflammatory, while constituents of whole plant foods, such as fiber and phytonutrients, came up strongly anti-inflammatory. 1055 It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, that the Standard American Diet (SAD) scores as pro-inflammatory. This reached a peak in the early aughts during the Atkins craze, but we still run hot1056 and have the elevated disease rates to show for it.
