The allegory of the movie

   We are all familiar with going to the movie to witness an entire story unfold on the giant screen.
The screen is representation of the unmoving space around us and also within us. The phenomenon that appear in space are the  appearances[illusion]on the screen all derived from a single[projector] light passing through a still frame of a movie strip. The successive spooling of the film provide a continual succession of pictures on the screen. Each picture carry with it the many appearances of landscape and living beings. Succeeding replacement of the picture create the illusion of animation and the story comes alive on the still screen.
The film represents God's will or karma[prerecorded and canned] and the many appearances are from one and the same light after passing through the film.
As awareness is not conceivable or perceivable, the use of allegory is for us to intuit on it and also established the wisdom to recognize appearances as illusion, thus ending the delusion of accepting phenomenon as real, when in fact it is a mere projection within the light of awareness. Our own bodies and minds are likewise illusion from this one light.[Awareness, God, Tao, etc.] As illusions are unreal, the apparent birth and death of beings are also illusionary on the same footing as other illusionary friends from the comic and cartoon world.
The many are illusions from the one light[source] and thus share the same essence.
In real life the One field of awareness is the source of the appearance which in essence is the light as in "I am the light and the way. Since awareness is the only reality all else are mirages, but sharing in one essence[noumenon which is void]
The reflectivity[essence] of the mirror is also the changing faces of reflections. Except for the reflections seen, no body ever see the TRUE face of a mirror[the substratum of the reflections].
