The horror of an illusion is that we do not see it as such.
In the unconscious, it lives as a hidden assumption.
But it can also exist in consciousness, sustained by fanatical belief.
What are the consequences?
Your progress hits a glass ceiling. Conflicts with your partner at home and at work. Chronic health problems or symptoms that keep getting worse. The feeling that the whole world has conspired against you personally.
How could it be otherwise if part of reality has fallen into a blind spot?
If someone points it out and says, “This is a lie,” you will either laugh or become offended. The very idea of questioning It will seem absurd.
This will continue until the number of blows from “fate” exceeds your limit of tolerance or begins to threaten your life.
Then an ancient and benevolent instinct will activate aggression: ““Enough! No more!”
You will begin feeling your way through the blind spot, grabbing the illusion by the forelock.
From that moment on, I stop worrying about you.
A crack has appeared in your glass wall.
It is only a matter of time before its shards crunch beneath your feet.
The illusion has already lost its power over you.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
