Once we realize that illusion isn’t unusual…in fact it is how we make sense of our lives. Perceived reality is part sensory input (which is, at best, only a partial representation of reality), part experience, and part belief. With a bit fo hard cogination, both the 2nd and 3rd of those can be altered. At best, we carry around an illusionary model in our minds, and believe that to be reality.
So, unlike Old Sam, I find it useful to part with my current set of illusions…but only if I can soon replace them with a better set. Because without the illusions, I really have no sense of reality to hang onto, and I’m not quite ready to let that go! The trick is the building of that better set!
