The body and mind are called illusion as they are effect. The forms Effect takes are always in all ways transitory. Temporary. Hence why the body is called a Temple - temporary. Effect is subject to time and space, therefore has a life and death "seemingly". I say seemingly because matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only change or be transmuted into one form or another.
However, your essence is not Effect but Cause. Unlike Effect, you are changeless, timeless, and spaceless due to being formless. Cause is Impersonal, eternal, and complete in and of itself. It is nonconceptual (Beyond Mind to fathom) and undifferentiated (Beyond separation). It is not subject to time and space, life and death etc. It is not subject to effect. Cause is what creates or shapes effect. Until you know yourself as Cause, you will forever be subject to effect as effect.
As Spirit you are always Spirit but as your personal self; mind and body - you are only that for a blip of time in the fabric of eternity. This version of you is one of many, though it is unique in its physical expression.
Now to add another layer of depth to the illusion in regard to effect, bear in mind, at the moment the world is not reflecting the true Self or Spirit. How can the mind reflect something it is not conscious of? The world at this point in history is reflecting the egoic self - the Universal mind that is built on a collection of all individual egos, born of a lie. These egos, this one egoic world is born of a lie as it was created by a mind that has no consciousness of it's true Self in and of Spirit. The people of this world are cut off from the truth like a branch from a tree, therefore, cannot replicate and manifest "Truth" in the physical world. These manifestations born of egoic thoughts are widely referred to in metaphysical circles as false images for they were not born of Spirit but of a mind ignorant of the Truth. Therefore. when the mind thinks it creates false images. False images aka false thoughts that give birth to false manifestations such as disease, poverty, war, etc.
By becoming conscious of our true Self as Awareness (Soul) the illusion of ego disappears and the true Self takes its place. One does not work to get rid of their darkness any more than someone going into a room and removing the darkness. That would be silly. Rather one simply brings in the light and the darkness disappears into the nothingness from which it came. Therefore, one simply embodies the light they already are, by becoming conscious of their own awareness, their own Soul which in turn lights up the world, helping others see the truth.
