My evolving awareness is that life is a creation of Consciousness, and we *are* that Consciousness. It's not accurate to say it's an illusion but it's a manifestation of our focus as Consciousness.
I use the term 'hologram' for this world, which isn't entirely accurate but then language cannot begin to describe the process of going from our infinite vastness into the density of form.
I also describe life in this world as a game, because to Consciousness, it is a kind of full immersion 'virtual reality' experience.

There are lots of ways to play this game, and there's no good or bad way to participate. You can dive in, completely unconscious, and feel tossed and turned by it. At this level you experience physical reality at it's most dense. In order to create you have to use a lot of effort and it takes a lot of time.
Another way to play is with some awareness, in the realm of thought and law of attraction. This takes less effort and feels more playful, as you use visualization and repetition (and vision boards and pink balloons) to make your ideas become real.
Yet when you're playing fully as Consciousness all the old rules go out the window. You have no need to try to manifest anything. You know that You are creating all of this as Consciousness, down to the smallest detail. You just show up fully in the present moment and respond to what is.
In fact there's no need to make anything happen in the hologram, because there's an infinite number of holograms with an infinite number of possibilities and outcomes. You just shift yourself to where the reality is unfolding in your favor.
However, even if you choose to play fully as Consciousness, it doesn't mean everything is just ducky.
If ever there was a time I wanted to change, fix, or manipulate the hologram, last month was it. The house we were living in had mold, and I'd been able to ignore it since turning off the furnace in Spring, but knew that come September there'd be problems again.
Life flows forward like cars in traffic and if you don't make conscious choices, eventually you'll feel that you're forced into them. You're not really forced into anything, but if you're driving without your hands on the wheel... or with your eyes closed...
What I observed happening over the previous month was possibilities arising and stepping towards each one. Reality reorganized around that possibility and I had the opportunity to check it out in body. Then it would shift to a different scenario as I became clear about my preferences.
What ultimately unfolded is perfect but completely different than I originally thought I'd wanted. When you play as Consciousness what shows up is beyond what you could possibly imagine and the house we're in now certainly is that.
While writing this blog post, I came across an illustration of the intersections of Seattle by Peter Gorman. When he first moved to Seattle, a friend told him that Seattle's layout is easy to understand. "It's all a grid," she said, "until it's not."
It's a perfect one-dimensional rendering of Seattle's three-dimensional intersections. Life has such intersections, just on a multidimensional level.
This game is infinitely complex. You come to places in your life's journey that are more complicated than mere crossroads. There are multiple possible options. In form you can only experience one option at a time. The good news is that there are no mistakes, as Consciousness you're running and experiencing all the options instantaneously and simultaneously.
Play it any way you feel moved to play it. And, if you choose to play it as Consciousness, it will start unfolding in surprising, sometimes bizarre, and sometimes delightful ways!
