That ,which is for a time and not eternal or permanent is an illusion as it is just temporary. God is eternal and permanent , unborn and indestructible and hence is a " Fact " and not illusion. We are born , live and die and thus not being eternal or permanent we are illusions. Whatever we do is predetermined and thus not being free our will is just an illusion. There is only one Spirit , one Will which is free and hence is " Fact " and not illusion. My " fact " that God is , is not an illusion but I myself am an illusion.
