The Grand Illusion
What is an Illusion? When a magician cuts a girl in half during a magic show, you know that it is an illusion. The illusion is a perception different from reality. The perception could be of the senses such as vision, sound, taste, touch, smell or of the ideas of the mind.
The concept of a unicorn, Santa Claus or an ideal human being are illusory ideas of the mind.
The nature of the world is illusory. Everything from a particle of sand to the biggest planet is an illusion.
* Every idea about our world and how it operates is an illusion too.
Our ideas about purpose of life,
existence of God,
ideas of right and wrong are all based on our ignorance about the nature of our universe.
This song explores self-expectation lies that advertisers have imposed upon us and lifts the veil of lies.
We come out of our delusional state of mind only when we are made aware that we are being fooled on a GRAND scale.
Everything that we know about our world is illusory including the objects, living beings, our personalities, our separation, individuality, our social values and morality.
Our ideas about knowledge, intelligence, time, space and duality are illusory too.
Maya - the real nature of our existence as a sentient entity in this world of illusion.

The Blank Signature
1965 by Rene Magritte

Surrealism aimed to transcend the realist depiction of scenes available to ordinary perception.
》Under the influence of the new discipline of psychoanalysis, surrealists made use of such techniques as dream analysis to uncover the unconscious workings of the mind and the symbols that the unconscious works with.
Not much of Magritte's oeuvre consists of literally inconsistent images, but at least one famous image does, The Blank Signature.
This painting utilizes a technique like that of the Schuster fork, and illustrates how the mind constructs the impossibility. The mind puts together the separate elements into a "coherent" whole of these parts. The horse is thus bisected by a patch of background grass. Also, one of the tree trunks is in front of the horse but its base is behind the horse. It certainly seems that these elements are inconsistent with our conception of a rider in a forest. For example, it qualifies as an occlusion illusion, since reversal of occlusions is sufficient to produce a consistent image.
