The Invisible Prison: How Delusions Shape Reality

Delusions shape how we think, choose, and see others. This story reveals how to spot the invisible beliefs that quietly shape your reality.

1

“I Know Why I Do What I Do” 

We often explain our behaviour after the fact. But research shows we act first, then justify it—often unconsciously.  

2

The World Is As I See It 

Our senses don’t reflect reality—they interpret it. Two people can witness the same event and recall it completely differently.

3

More Information = Better Decisions 

We assume more data means more clarity. In truth, it often leads to overwhelm, indecision, or biased filtering.

4

“They” Are the Problem 

We create enemies to protect our identity. Cognitive dissonance and tribalism distort how we see others.  

5

I Can Think My Way Out of This 

Sometimes, thinking more deeply only reinforces the mental loops we’re trapped in. Insight often comes from letting go.

6

Progress Is Always External 

We chase success, thinking it’s "out there." But often, the real shift begins with inner awareness and mental clarity.

Break Free from the Invisible Prison

Not all chains are visible. Challenge your assumptions. Question your story. That’s where true freedom begins.

Reality Is More Malleable Than You Think

What you call “truth” may be habit. Read, reflect, and stay curious. The more you question, the freer you become.
