Reality may look deformed but isn't because it takes place on another level, the level of feelings. If this often coincides with the level that's seen visually, then it's because my feeling of distance, trained by dealing with external things, has acquired a blind confidence so that external reality – the body everyone sees – ist congruent with felt reality, the reality that's so difficult to define
