You asked me about illusion in relation to 'what is' and 'real', and I told you I couldn't answer because I don't understand what you mean by those words. The idea that I don't want to reveal too much of myself was your giraffe spotting that occurred while you were being and accepting 'what is'.

but in fact, you added, And there you have it--whatever YOU think of (or know, or perceive, or sense, or whatever) when YOU say what "it actually is", is 'what is.'

(That's actually harder to write than it looks )
I don't understand why that would be hard to say in words at all. Nor do I see why anyone would resist hearing it. Nor do I see why it would be hard to grasp. Nor do I understand what significance it could possibly have.

I do understand the value of actually accepting what seems to happen, including your misperceptions, but I don't see you actually doing that, nor do I believe it's even possible.
