"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one." Albert Einstein

It seems that taken to the extreme IM could allow one to create anything, that it is only what we believe that makes it impossible to regenerate a hand, for example. That what our senses are attached to is all an illusion but somehow a very stable illusion based on that we are constantly reminding ourselves to believe in this Maya by being attached to what we see, feel, etc... To be so completely enlightened would be to not believe anything, it seems, that way nothing would hinder creating more of this illusion. But, to be completely enlightened I wonder if there would be a identity like we know it.
