I learned about it in a university psychology course, and it seems that there is an experiment where they tried living by wearing glasses that are inverted up and down. The floor and ceiling are turning upside down, and even if you go up the stairs, you go downstairs. Then at first I got drunk and felt sick, and I had a headache, but was it 1 month? After a while, it seems that you can normally see the floor below and the ceiling above even when wearing upside down glasses. It's strange.
The reason for this is that the light information coming in through the eyes remains upside down, but my brain says, “This is not a world like this!” It seems that they turn it upside down and draw it. what does that mean? In short, the world we see from the beginning is not a world that exists as it is in reality; it is an image processed and output by the brain. Nantecotta!
I'm wondering if even the world I saw with my own eyes is a fact, right? Facts are such a thing.
I've been thinking about lies or facts, and I can't help it. Just because it's a fact doesn't mean you're happy, and just because it's a lie doesn't necessarily mean you're unhappy.
The picture of Minamoto Yoritomo in the Japanese history textbook was a completely different person, but whether that's true or false has nothing to do with my unhappiness on a fine particle level! Well, this is how it came to be, so it's probably leaning in the direction of happiness precisely because it was a lie. But this is exactly what makes me anxious and smirk, depending on my brain.
There is a good hint in the Heart Sutra about this kind of direction of mind.

In plain terms, it means not far away from all of the wrong directions, as if the top and bottom are upside down.
In the first place, the question of whether it is a lie or fact is itself labeled “the agony of evaluation.” It is called “take” (shu) in technical jargon. It's not that kind of place, and whether it's full of lies or dishonesty, it's important to work hard to survive in the world right in front of you, whether it's lost or anxious. In other words, let's first forgive ourselves for being anxious.
The Buddha said everything was a pain. It's okay to be anxious. because that's the kind of monster. By accepting that it's such a monster, you can get a sense of freedom and peace of mind that's neither blind faith nor rejection.
