That is fact, no matter what dillusion I prefer.

good use of the word dillusion



Our five senses operate, as you say, in a physical world. As a result, we inhabit a 'physical plane'. The input from our senses create for a us a 'real, physical world'.
Imagine the world of a person, born w/out the use of all five senses. (i don't know that this ever happens, but imagine it.) To us, with our senses, that person is there, alive, real or whatever. But to him, he is the only existance there is, and his thoughts are all he has as company. Without human interaction, he has no concept that he even IS human, or alive, or real (or not).

Nothing is actually solid - it appears so because the atoms which compose it are arranged in a way, which to our primitive senses, makes it seem solid. There is no color, only waves at different, distinguishable frequencies. Atoms (buildingblock of everything) have no color.
I'm not saying 'physical reality' is an illusion - more like, it's the simplest method of classifying energy so that everyone can participate. Meanings we all agree on; symbols we all understand. Chair. Blue. Sky. Person.
