- When we treat sensations of the mind as more real than sensations of the world, we make countless miscalculations, mishaps, and mistakes.
- When we overlay and project mind-sourced sensations onto world-sourced sensations, what we experience is dreamlike, illusory, and unreal.
- Romantic love and infatuation involve projecting sensations from the mind onto the object of desire, making it appear better than it is or can be.
- Love that is based on projecting mental sensations over physical sensations often turns to jealousy, hate, and murder when the object of desire is elusive or out of reach, because it is not real love but idolization.
- Most problems in semantics arise because people mistake the sensations of objects in their mind for the sensations of objects in the world. In spiritual terms, this phenomenon is often described as living in a dream world, Maya, and mithya. In business, mechanical, and operational terms, this phenomenon is described as being delusional and out of touch with reality. In psychological terms, this phenomenon is described as being neurotic, psychotic, and schizoid.
