Well, I obviously can't see what you see. Objective reality is a harsh task-master for perception. If what you see is real, then you are sure to do better than if what you see are hallucinations. Beings with faulty perception [such as being blind or schizophrenic] get eaten by lions or fall off cliffs or something. Nature doesn't like perception that is missing something or wrongly perceiving. Do you have any idea how that perception of yours works? Just by magic or is there some nerve pathway that gives you the data? Got a third eye? Ears? Smell or what? I guess that it's your imagination, which has no external link. I have dreams, which are sleeping hallucinations. Maybe half your brain is dreaming while the other half is awake? And the dream filters through your corpus callosum and the other half figures "Holy smokes, there really is a God and look how BIG he is!" Mqurice
