Thought provoking post, I thought, in Spirituality in the Suffering thread:

A question for the non-duality crowd.
Suffering - illusion or not? Love, joy - Illusion or not?
Like the chair you're looking at, it is real and yet it is not...the dream we are living in is real and yet it is not.
The dream you have when sleeping is real and yet it is not.
What seems to me as real are feelings...the feelings in the sleeping dream of terror or of love are real...we FEEL them.
But what of the surroundings...we 'feel' real sadness watching a war movie on a big screen...was the war real? Our feelings were.
The person we love, is that person real? The love was/is, to ME, anyway.
Discuss?
