Quote by Ali Rosen

“We can read every book and stare at every piece of art about the pain of love, but we never know how much it hurts to be exposed until it's real to us. It's a feeling so foreign to our base state that it is impossible to imagine.”

“Like all the other defense mechanisms, delusion is invisible to us, making it a serious problem: we don't know we are deluded. We live in an unreal world based on our delusions, but we see that unreal world as reality. Because we can't afford to hear the facts about our lives as they really are, we often get very angry with people who try to point out any fallacies in our delusions. This position leaves us very vulnerable, since both reality itself and anyone with a strong sense of reality tend to threaten the view we have of our world. People in delusion tend to isolate themselves from those who might reveal the truth about their lives.”

“Actuality is an active energy and reality is the consciousness that it’s there. Energy is important and differentiating between them because we aren’t conscious of every energy. An important factor to look at when determining what is real is our consciousness. Our senses determine if we are conscious of an actuality. If we can’t hear, see, touch, smell, or taste it then we disregard it. We can’t see the wind, but we can hear it and feel it. These two senses make us conscious that it’s there. Things that are beyond our limited consciousness are only brought to reality when we create tools to experience them.”
