About This Quote
The real world exists in the here and now. It exists in the physical, in what you can touch or feel, in what you can hear or smell, in what you can taste or touch. It is not abstract. It is not something that only exists in your head.
The beliefs you have are separate from the real world. They are abstract, imaginary ideas that exist only in your head. So when you say things like "The world is really flat," or "I am actually Napoleon," or "I'm God," or "I'm Jesus," it is easy to notice that your beliefs do not line up with the physical reality of "the real world."
