Or perhaps we been given knowledge of unseen pleasures and a path. What is delusional about you having a value independant of what you think of yourself. What is it that will make it a delusion? Is that it requires a Creator, a source of the value, or maintainer or one who sees you or is that the feeling one day we will see who we truly are something that makes it false? Or is that we must have a soul that makes it an illusion?

I will answer these questions with a quote from one of my most beloved television shows - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Dennis Reynolds: "Your true power comes not from outside sources, but from the delusional stories that you all convince yourselves of.
And no one...NO ONE...can take that away from you."
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Wiser words were never spoken.
