If this life is an illusion then everything that happens only happens in our mind, then there are really no inner or outer kingdoms. Just living in ego mind, or right mind. The illusion is in ego mind were we think we live in physicality, and other dimensions. It is imperfect, with disease, greed, enslavement, destruction, death, and lifelong suffering of the masses, just like hell, with those in power giving us false hope, with benefits for the few, and not the many. But if we live in right mind we see the illusion, remember and know that we have not left god, that this is heaven, and we know there is only really one mind, one part of it is awake, and other part is asleep. The asleep part is the dream of ego mind, where we think everything is real.
There is really only one truth, this life we are leading is an illusion this separation from god. We have not left. This is just a dream from which we have to awaken from. Ascension is just the long way to return to source.
The best way to leave the illusion is to pray, silently, no words required, through visualizing that we leave everything behind (all our material possessions, our false idols), and just love god, and visualize merging with him, returning to source, being in total oneness.
