We are all functional schizophrenics. Everything you see, hear, smell or experience, you do so because your mind tells you that you do. It is real because your mind tells you it is real.

You think your reality into being. Thought alters your experiences according to your own personal bias. None of us are experiencing the same reality. What we call life is merely a series of overlapping realities.

Your mind is a clever liar. You will never know whether or not it is telling the truth.
