The best way to sustain a hallucination is arguing its qualities  --
the absolute highest standard of efficiency is maintained when
                                there is debate over the details of an illusion.
 

Sane men do not philosophically reflect on the physical world;
odes are not written to boulders, nor spiritual allegories based on car batteries;
the mind of normal humanity ponders, and discusses deeply, only hallucinations.
 

Men will talk of material matters in a pragmatic manner
when such can be of potential physical benefit to them;
the rest of the time (if they are not mute) they speak of immaterial matters which,
from a certain pragmatic view,  have no measurable benefit.
Science & technology discuss the hands-on world;
everything else is talk about hallucinations.
 

The physical world outside of man is there and remains there
whether he talks about it or not  --
not so the world unique-to and inside-of man;
speak not, think not of your religion, politics or philosophy-of-life,
and they will disappear;
your heart is with you, always doing its job --
even when you are not consciously aware of it  --   even when you are un conscious --
but no similar situation exists with mind;
if you are not experiencing thoughts and aware thereof  --  you have no mind,
so at the radical level your mind must be always talking --
if not to others  --  then to itself (you, apparently) --
thus is the dual hallucination of you having a "you" &  you having a mind maintained.

This arrangement in man's brain is so
(what is a term designating something beyond, "all inclusive"?)  all inclusive
that there is nothing further to say about it
(other than to note that it is so "all inclusive" of man's existence that under routine conditions it is impossible for his brain to get its thinking around the fact sufficient to fully grasp and digest it  --   put this way:
the brain's thought-generated sense of a "you" that you experience in your head
can hear nothing of objective substance about itself  --
but for a reason beyond its capacity to even imagine  --  to simplify a wrap to this):
in the overall order of things, the cortical area of man's brain,
wherein thought is broadcast, and thus mind believed to exist,
must constantly talk to maintain the appearance-of   --    the reality-of,
(or for the few: the hallucination-of) the mind and its Siamese twin --  a "you" --
a you that is separate from its environment, and ergo able to think about its environment, and ergo capable of rearranging it to better suit the man whose cortex is thinking about it (this seems inescapable [from the human view] since the environment shows no signs of thinking about man, and no inclination of rearranging itself for his benefit [that should actually read: "from the ordinary human view"]  --
but back to the sole subject of this daily news coverage
[which is not man's health, comfort or physical environment]).
 

The cortexes of the brains of you reading these words spend most of their lives
not thinking about the physical world outside of you  --  but the invisible one
inside of you --  in your brain only --  that exists in words only, in short:
hallucinations (reminding you of the fact covered yesterday, viz.: a mass accepted hallucination is not a hallucination, thus what is herein,
for our extraordinary purpose, being called "hallucination" is,
with ordinary men --  no such thing).
But-and-so from this view: at any moment when your thoughts are not about the physical world outside of you, they are on and about: hallucinations;
it matters not what label, title or name thoughts have placed on the "subject" it is,
compared to thoughts about things you can put your hands on, simply a hallucination:
perhaps one widely shared by your community, or even the world,
which to them renders it not a hallucination,
but for a man with that certain view and special interest,
that is all that all of these subjects are  --  hallucinations  --  clear and plain:
mental activity necessary in ordinary human minds to make possible the civilized, collective living of men with its resulting survival benefits,
but which, to that certain man, proves not only unnecessary,
but head-on inhibiting to the certain aim which
makes him the non standard, Certain Man.
 
 

From his perspective it is as though the human population of this planet must wear a certain type of overcoat (mentally) to live the life proper and laid out for them  --   whereas he personally does not;
in this regard he does not feel superior (or inferior) to everyone else --
just different (and in a manner totally irrelevant to anyone else on Earth but him).
He who sees understands that what are clearly hallucinations to his mind
are absolutely necessary in the thoughts of everyone else around him:
his family, his neighbors, his leaders --
the things about which all ordinary, normal, sane humans most commonly think are hallucinations, but for those who do not see it like this --  it is not like this,
(and the little train of the mind keeps on a'chuggin' and a'rollin'
                                                and man a'dreamin' and a'livin').
 
 

To a man with potential clear sight (and perhaps one eye already opened)
the information covered thus far is pretty much child's play
(although it may have taken him most of an adult life time to realize it);
where it gets big-time interesting is in men's minds --

Everything man ever says or writes that is not about the physical world
is but fanciful travel guides of mirages;
psychiatry's concept of, "talking-therapy" was an unwitting stroke of
commercial genus: get someone to believe that if they will but fully
talk-out a hallucination --  the problem of which they complain will be cured  --
-- an undertaking impossible of completion;
or the church's: restructure a hallucination properly and the gods will bless you,
the hallucination in both cases being that of your thought-generated you.
Once men have cured their hunger --  they want to cure themselves;
after their physical needs are satisfied, they seek to satisfy their non physical ones,
aka here as: their hallucinations.

What sane person would fret over the possibility that he was suffering from
Groover's Syndrome when it was just a silly term he had once made up himself?! --
yet an exact replica of such a thing  fills up most of the life time of six billion men's minds (under a variety of nom de plummies).
In thought's non essential, free time (which is almost all of its time),
it causes men to think and talk incessantly of matters which are but hallucinations;
subjects that no human eye has ever seen, nor mortal hand touched, but to the mind --  "No matter!" --  indeed it has made this a badge of honor:
the ability to say you believe something to be real because of the fact that
it cannot be seen or felt --  the glory of: Faith.
What but thought could praise itself  --  with a straight face --
for what should shame it;
who other than mind can get by with publicly professing its gullibility,
and then proclaiming it to be: Insight?!
                                        (What a real sport and kidder life must be when you get to know him up close and personally.)
 
 
 

Ordinary men believe that they analyze themselves,
and the more insightful and intelligent they consider themselves to be,
the greater importance they attribute thereto;
the routine mind accepts that not only is talking about and scrutinizing oneself
beneficial for solving personal mental ills,
but that such serious self reflection is for the healthy also, of benefit.
Thus do intelligent, educated, sophisticated people think and talk
endlessly about themselves,  most specifically about that "self" which
everyone accepts they have besides the physical one showing;
the unseen one that exists but in their brain --
a thing, that under any other circumstances, someone hearing about would easily label a hallucination  --  a feu follet  --  a phantasm  --  a ghostly image;
but with men  --  when their thoughts are talking about themselves,
under the guise of talking about the person in whom they are being generated,
thoughts do not see this inner specter it has conjured up within itself
as being what it is  --  a creature entirely of its own invention --
and blithely then goes on to ostensibly dissect, study, analyze,
and pronounce judgment  on the thing:

Ordinary thinking is not set up to talk about anything real --
except when it is talking about something in the physical environment  --  but --
to make up for this: it never talks about anything real when it is not.
