I agree with all of that except for "the present is an illusion" I think our own present consciousness is the only thing that we can know for sure, it's the only thing that can't be an illusion.
But I don't think that's what you meant. I think you meant that what we see in our consciousness has already happened beforehand in our subconscious -- there have been scientific tests that say that we make a decision subconsciously sometimes as much as 7 seconds before the thoughts that we believe we make the decision with become conscious. I think you are aware of that research and I think that's what you meant.
I agree with everything else, ANKA.
