“The entire so called physical universe is an illusion; a projection of the collective ego.”

That is certainly one possibility. It could also (in a solipsist view) be the creation of only your personal ego (mind), and the rest of us could be simply pale echos of the wonder of you.

Or not.

In the meantime, most reasonable people believe in things like continuity, reality, cause and effect, science, and history. Many of us have even experienced some of these things. I’m sure your world view will reward you as you deserve.

It was a warm sunny day before my 6th grade year in the summer of 1965 in a small town in eastern Washington as I stopped my bicycle just short of my house as I pondered that very question. I remember it vividly.
