Although in the depths of my heart I remain convinced that there is only
one reality and I'm the only one to know it, it is a conviction that
takes a great deal of work to maintain in the face of all the evidence
indicating that the conviction is a complete fantasy. Fortunately,
Buddhist practice is a wonderful tool for cultivating and maintaining
complete fantasy.
