The person you were was not a delusion. Everything you knew is not a lie: there were an educational means to bring you to this point. Sometimes one must be broken down completely to realize they were complete all along. It is a matter of shifting and expanding perspectives: the two dimensional object is not limited because it cannot perceive the third dimension; but once that 2D object becomes 3D it will think it's previous "life" was all wrong and a lie, when really it was preschool; learning what it needed to move up an octave.
You have moved up an octave; keep climbing, there appears to be no end; life has just begun, for all of us. Every breath is Creation.
