Natural selection didn't shape the human brain to understand reality as it is. It designed it to hallucinate whatever helps humans survive and reproduce. You can't turn off the hallucinations, but if you pay close enough attention to them, they gradually become less convincing.

It's probably not possible to experience reality with no filter at all (nor would it be desirable, given that we need filters to be functioning humans). But it is possible to have conceptual filters be more transparent, so that they aren't preventing us from seeing clearly.

When you can see filters as they are, and switch between filters pragmatically without ever being attached to one or another, your mind is much freer to engage with life in a more relaxed way. Many problems cease to be problems, and real problems become easier to solve.
