I think it's still a language thing. We are the universe and the hegemonic view seems to be that we are outside acting in it. By "illusory" I do not mean that the phenomenon is not real, but that the (socially constructed) perception of it is not true to reality. I mean it from the Buddhist perspective that if you meditate on it enough there is not individual thing you can call what is socially conceived to be a self.
