It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
Delusion is not good; better to be realistic and then surprise yourself if you're lucky.
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
Storytelling, mythology and film provide a lot of hope but, on the flip side, can also create delusion.
I think we live in delusional times, whether it's with a great ability to totally distract ourselves with technology, or with speed and the velocity of life.
Our mind is like a cloudy sky: in essence clear and pure, but overcast by clouds of delusions. Just as the thickest clouds can disperse, so, too, even the heaviest delusions can be removed from our mind.
Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.
A delusion is something that people believe in despite a total lack of evidence.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the universe is the merest illusion.
Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
