“The world is an illusion created by a conspiracy of our senses.”

“The leading mathematician Roger Penrose says, ‘The world is an illusion created by a conspiracy of our senses.’ Yet we poor mortals try valiantly, at times desperately, to inscribe meaning on the tabula rasa given to us at birth. As Bruno Bettelheim has observed in “The Uses of Enchantment,“ ‘If we hope to live not just from moment to moment, but in true consciousness of our existence, then our greatest need and most difficult achievement is to find meaning in our lives.’ Bettlheim emphasizes the historically powerful role of fairy tales and myths in shaping meaning in our lives.”
