hello hello!
mkirk you put your finger on the trigger here. It is very hard to think this through, but having tried this several times over the past year or so, I am thinking there is some, maybe a lot of truth possible in what you say here.
Distance is the fabric of the "illusion" if reality is indeed an illusion or "maya".
Distance is one side of the coin and time is the other, as soon as you think of distance you need time to travel it. As soon as you think of time, it only can work if you have distance to travel to take time, I think, is that right?
I like the idea the reality is an enfolded origami. But the folds create distance and time as they appear to us, so perhaps the word fold is misleading. Maybe the word fractal is like an unfolding? MAYBE it is all origami backwards - imagori?
However, in practical terms, I just flew back from Angor Wat to Canterbury and the fact is, it appeared a lot of distance and took time. So in practical terms, there seems little to do about whatever is underneath the appearance. We are trapped in the apearance, and whether by will or flow, we get our experiences one mouthful at a time...

What then is "distance"(away from here,to there)?Could not distance really be just an
illusion?If the universe is really connected and interconnected by an etheric web,then
all "apparent" forms (stars,planets,etc)are all touching one another,and further there
is absolutely no space at all in between each and everyone.
I think we all seem to share a collective illusion,fooled by our senses,and blinded by
the spiel of limited understanding.
