What difference does it make if you real self is an illusion or just something deep down outside our consciousness?

The consciousness isn't the illusion, the consciousness is the audience.

An illusion doesn't trick anyone if there's noone to observe it.

An illusion is arguably a perception that, taken literally, entails a false conclusion, so I don't see a need to tie it to a subject.

The only thing I know for sure isn’t an illusion is my consciousness.
