And the most dangerous delusion of all is that there is only one reality.

As I have already said, the belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous or all delusions. It becomes still more dangerous if it is coupled with the missionary zeal to enlighten the rest of the world, whether the rest of the world wishes to be enlightened or not.

It is only with the collapse of our constructions of reality that we first discover that the world is not the way we imagine.
