Reality and truth. Illusions are indeed part of reality.
But what is illusion? I'd say it is a perceptual experience that corressponds to a past experience, or a perceptual inference made from past experience, but that doesn't present similar relationships like those experienced in the past.
And hence poses challenges to the 'I' concept.
That is, illusions help us to get closer to the truth. Without illusion, there'd be no Science.
Religion can only attain its purposes if it's scientific.
