The simple fact of the matter is, everything we perceive with our five senses is misleading. Or at the very least, grossly out of touch with objective reality, providing us with such a limited view that it may actually serve as an obstacle to the truth. And science has already proven this. As Alan Watts likes to point out in his book On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are “the prevalent sensation of oneself as a separate ego enclosed in a bag of skin is a hallucination which accords neither with Western science nor with the experimental philosophy-religions of the East. In fact if you were to listen to sciences definition on who you are, you might be surprised to hear that you’re a bit of an space cadet. Your body is comprised of approximately 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms and atoms are 99.999% space. Meaning, you are essentially space. Your five senses and learned notions mislead you into thinking you are your face, hands, hair, legs, skin and everything else you see peering back in the mirror each morning. But, in fact, you are not. You are space. Its a simple indisputable freeing truth. The more you connect with this reality, the closer you come to understanding your true nature as an energetic being.
