The real world can actually be perceived. 2All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive nothing else. 3For if you perceive both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and the true and making no distinction between them. 4The ego sees some good, but never only good. 5That is why its perception is so variable. 6It does not reject goodness entirely, for this you could not accept, but it always adds something that is not real to the real, thus confusing illusion and reality. 7For perceptions cannot be partly true. 8If you believe in truth and illusion, you cannot tell which is true.
