The deep self-trance constricts our vision to preferred patterns of perception, a security matrix that blunts or masks the uncomfortable edge of our anxiety over the unknown.

We construct our world, extracting from the scene before us that which we prefer and leaving aside whatever is at odds with our preferences.  ~Gregory Mayers
