Our mind is living in its own virtual reality

The brain can be influenced equally by imagination and reality. Because to perceive reality the brain have to construct a virtual reality model of reality and live in it. The brain has different module to construct the virtual reality, for instance meditators can switch off the spatial part in the left brain so they are one with the universe, or switch off time module in the left part.

By pretending or imagining, you are deactivating some module or activating some modules in the brain virtual reality. The brain must activate/deactivate these modules in order to pretend or imagine.

Thus by pretending or imagining your are relaxing, yourself becomes relax. Pretending you are far away from something, you are detaching. Pretending you are a bad guy, you become the bad guy; the brain is a great mimic. Pretend you have thick face, then your brain feels like it has thick face and though know the difference but wont feel the difference.
