  I think that the #1 source of illusions is errors of perspective, not incorrect thinking.

    What's the difference?
    I'm intrigued by what you're saying, but I'm not sure I understand.

      Perspective is your view of the world. This tapestry of sights, sounds, thoughts, etc

      Your intellect is a mess of memories, opinions, interpretations, habits of thought, conscious thought processes etc. Within your perspective.

      Your awareness is like a flashlight in a dark room. Shining here and there. Illuminating this but not that. Moving to this, then moving to that. What it illuminates is your world. What it does not illuminate is invisible and outside consideration.

      Your awareness illuminates the tapestry. One item on the tapestry is your intellect.
