You’re not seeing reality; you’re hallucinating it. Your “objective reality” is just a projection, a mental movie starring your beliefs. This isn’t philosophy – it’s the cosmic joke you’ve been living. That tree, that chair, your annoying neighbor – you...
Holy fuck! "I" can see what this article is pointing to now more than previously. What can one say about all this? Whatever is spontaneously said as a response, I guess....I'll go out on a limb here, so to speak, and say what I am going to say here...In light of this article, It's like it's dawning on me that 'we', though there is actually no plural we, are the One and only Reality. And the experiences in our lives as human beings is like a game and a cosmic joke. If you believe that you can't do this or that, learn this or that, can't have this or that, WE are the Reality that is making is so and it manifests in our lives more or less as we believe it to be.
However, this is not to say that the 'ego' based, 'me' or 'I' based beliefs like you see in stuff like "the Secret" always come true. Most of that stuff is just ''ego wanking' and caters to that. Reality is only going to align with Reality, not with what is false and unreal. What is false and unreal? That which is subject to change, which can come and go, which depends on something else to exist or be within the concept of time. Again, if you wanna know what's real, you gotta see though what's false and unreal. Of course, what is real is indescribable and beyond the mind and any of its concepts. Our shared Being-ness and the "I Am" is a door or gateway to it.
There is a lot of seeming paradox is all this. To sum this up, because of 'us' being 'That' which we truly are, we are creating and manifesting our life experiences...at least some or many of them. The variable factors in all this are innumerable....
In the book 'I Am That' the Indian sage Nisargadatta Maharaj was talking with an American or English woman about stuff. She says to him (something to the effect of), "I am not yet the immutable, unchanging fullness of reality..." Maharaj says to her in response something like, "Well, if that is what you currently believe, then you should continue with your sadhanas (spiritual practices). It all depends on what you take yourself to be".

"recognizing the delusional nature of all beliefs." Especially the delusion I partake of that I have no delusions- Wait! This belief too.
