Not. Being at home here means : "Entirely comfortable and familiar and knowledgable about...happy therein". > plenty of creatures "at home" but grossly unhappy.>> That is called an "irrational assumption" right there. > Then it says "Therefore life is bliss". Doesn't follow at all!.>> Yes it does, because 'happiness' is a shade, or a version, of bliss. They are not distinct, only layers of the same thing. > Last, it says "all else is illusion".

And you love it !...you just are living in another illusion for the fun of it. <<This is shaping up to be a tautology.>> The ultimate tautology is tight in all directions. Taut as a tightrope.
