The ideal of the rule of law, along with equality under the law, is one of the bases of tolerance. It means that, one way or another, governments themselves must act in accordance with the law- a responsibility they sometimes try to evade. The treatment of asylum seekers in Australia is an example, where successive Commonwealth governments have produced a series of changes to the law. In a liberal-democratic society the rule of law also means that there must be open discussion about those laws and how they are being upheld in the courts. It also means predictability- known rules about the relationship between people and governments, and in certain matters, between individuals. It is intended to mean fairness - no one should be condemned unheard, and hearings must be carried out openly by courts or tribunals as independent of governments as possible. (In their wars against asylum seekers, governments have shuffled procedures around as if they were fairground illusionists.) — Donald Horne

All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion. — Ram Dass

Life is an illusionist, proficient at its art.
It proves to be bitter, an adversary
But is indeed a friend in disguise, a silent well wisher.
It forces us into arduous stations and assesses our limitations.
It guides us to the path of defeat, even so secretly desires that we prove it wrong,
It demands for us to rise despite the odds and lead it to, the path of victory.
It is but a master illusionist. — Chirag Tulsiani
