An interesting experience in life

In my mind I know death and sickness are an illusion, as is pain. So I wait, for the answer to what is the truth, where is the peace, if this is an illusion then what is real? Right now i'm experiencing this in my world, the death of my dog, the sickness of my friend, the sadness and drama of people close to me. It all leads to peace, I know it, and i'm ready to experience that peace.
