Illusion is an error of perception and knowing illusion as illusion is knowledge.  Our experience of the world is based on perception.  Since every perception is erroneous, the world is an illusion.  Look for the seer, the one who experiences, in between the experiences.  Every experience leaves a residue that clouds the intellect.  Wake up this moment.  Shake your head of all past experiences and look at the pure being that I am and that you are.
