One of the problems of the Arab mind is the difficulty of differentiating between the mental concept and the sensory concept. This problem causes great difficulty for him when thinking about reality and understanding it. It causes an obstacle in leaving the world of illusions to natural reality. It causes him to reach thinking separated from reality and which draws worlds that do not exist. Illogical and unreal worlds, by attributing actions, words, and will to mental concepts that do not exist on the ground of reality…. Illusions reside in the mind and magnify until the mind finds difficulty in understanding reality after the illusions have taken control of it and surrounded it from all directions.

Love, people, Islam, Sunnis, and Shiites are mental concepts, while the pen, notebook, and dog are sensory concepts.

The mental concept has no sensory properties and is not rational. It has no color, no smell, no taste, no sound, does not think, does not speak, does not sleep, does not break, and does not grow…. As for the sensory concept, it has sensory properties. It is divided into rational and irrational. It has color, smell, taste, and voice. It can think, speak, sleep, die, break down, and grow.

Therefore, there is no logical meaning to our saying that Islam will be broken, because Islam is not a bottle to be broken, it is a mental concept, and it is illogical for us to say that the people want to overthrow the regime, because the people are a mental concept, they do not think, do not reason, and do not have a tongue. The people are just a mental concept in the mind. And there is no rational, living, material entity. Therefore, when you attribute something to a people and say that it is the reason behind something, you are like someone who attributes legal responsibility to patriotism and you are prosecuting patriotism in a court, because it is the reason behind a crime that occurred, or like someone who is prosecuting love because it caused a young man to commit suicide.

Placing these language and sentences among logical issues is completely wrong, because they are sentences that cannot be considered logical issues. By thinking in that language and considering it as logical issues that can be true or false, we create illusions in the mind, not reality. We paint a mythical world similar to the world we see in Salvador Dali’s paintings.

When we speak in this language that mixes mental concepts and sensory properties, we say it metaphorically only when speaking in poetic language, just as we attribute to love the wings with which it flies.

Therefore, when thinking logically, we must differentiate between these things when we analyze the phenomena and topics around us, so that we can understand them in reality.

But when we attribute to mental concepts the properties of action, speech, and will, we think in a poetic way and not analytical or logical at all. Rather, we transform phenomena into illusions in the mind that are controlled by myths and legends, like the world of ghosts, and it becomes as if we are in a literary, prose, or poetic forum. If we were in a literary forum, we would know that there is no problem with this confusion, because we are talking about only literary and poetic imagination that takes us out of heavy reality and into a magical world full of miracles.

This is one of the reasons for our continuous talk on social media pages about the problem of the separation of the mind of many from reality, and that many talk about a world that does not even exist in reality around them, and our always repeated talk about the inability of many people, especially the neo-secular, to see the objective reality around them, and Their confusion between logical scientific thinking and poetic literary thinking in analyzing the phenomena around them, which is the reason why they live in a world full of illusions….. illusions that have tightened their control over their minds.
