Will we ever learn how to separate life from illusion

I doubt it because we don't accept our senses as being real and they are our
only contact with the real world.

That is just the thing, since all we have is our senses then what can you expect
to base our interactions with reality? We have no method of relating to reality outside our senses.

So to me saying our sense experience is real or not is totally and utterly irrelevant.
If reality is real or not is meaningless. All we get is sense data interpreted by our brains.

The important aspect is that we have an abundant amount consistency between individuals
where we can accept facts about reality to be true.

This makes reality reliable rather than completely subjective experiences. If reality didn't have this consistency then we wouldn't be able to develop any systems at all for relating to each other. Although many things we come up with are arbitrary, like units of length, weight or time, the fact that there is dimensions, mass and time makes it possible to begin with.

Like the Earth being flat,
with the Sun in orbit?

An ordinary hi school science teacher will assure us that our perception of reality is in error.
Objects that we see as being solid r almost all open spaces.

Our perception of radiated energy is very limited.

Not true; most people believe in their personal perceptions as being real.

The 'real world' is an oxymoron because everyone has their own subjective perception of what they believe to be facts and reality. Most of us suffer from some degrees of 'illusion' both mental and physical.

The brain works in mysterious ways, and there's not much we can do about them as it relates to our reality.

A lot of people will tell you that life is illusion.

Are you asking or telling?

I accept my senses as real, especially when I cut my finger or try to enter the toilet immediately after Uncle Joe's been in there at Christmas.

Once again this is coming to the wrong conclusion.
Objects give us a sense of solidity because the strength of the repulsive force is enough to keep us from sinking into the ground or walking through walls or putting your hand through a table.

When you are ignorant of the repulsive force and you are not aware that atoms are made up of mostly empty space except for this force that repels atoms then you would obviously arrive at the wrong conclusion.

In fact nothing ever touches anything at all. The repulsive force is so strong that no two objects ever actually touch.
