"Look! Don't be deceived by appearances - men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!"

In a deep metaphysical sense, all that is conditioned is illusory. All phenomena are literally 'appearances,' the outer masks in which the One Reality shows itself forth in our changing universe. The more 'material' and solid the appearance, the further is it from reality, and therefore the more illusory it is.

— Annie Besant
