The color of the sky appears blue due to the way Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight. It is not the actual color of the sky, but rather an optical illusion caused by the scattering of light.

What type of energy is occurring with a rainbow?

What is something that is an illusion?

Roltair"s Illusion is a classic example. The Girl does not literally vanish or transmute into flowers, but this is the illusion the magician makes. It probably works with trap doors in both the coffin and the Bier or stand, when the smoke bomb goes off, and the lights down low, the girl has to move fast. this act was banned from all Church Carnivals in l968 by Archbishop Boland. see other questions on Roltair"s Illusion. It was banned for its morbid/sexy overtones and thought to be a parody of the Assumption, a major Church Holiday.

Are we really living reality or is it all an illusion?

We are really living reality, but this reality is an illusion. There is no ‘or’, it is ‘and’. What does it mean? You see a rainbow, and it is an illusion. You cannot ask whether it is a rainbow or an illusion. You see a mirage in a desert and it is an illusion. You see it, it exists, but its existence is an illusion. So is our life. Of course, we are living this life. There is no doubt, but our life itself is an illusion. Just like a dream. When we wake up in the morning, of course there was a dream, but the dream was an illusion. So also is this life. Although it looks very real today, at death, it will terminate to be an illusion. Therefore, we must realize how this life is nothing but an illusion.
