" One of the things the brain does is create an image of the self. Like all its images, the image of the self is by necessity incomplete. But it's a model that is usually useful for most of the activities we engage in. The problem is that we believe that these various incomplete and mistaken images our brain has created--including the image of our self--are reality. We think we are perceiving and conceiving of reality when, in fact, reality is beyond our perceptive ability and our powers of conception. At the same time, however, we are living in reality. The fact that we cannot grasp the totality of what we're living in doesn't change this. "
