This is a really tricky area, but I will try to help with my limited knowledge. The thing is that what is in our minds may not be true = that's what you have to remember. Dont be upset by this, a physicist or someone who is a top scientist can be wrong. I have to remind myself that what's in my mind isnt true, but part of my mental illness. Everyone is unique and has a different understanding of the world blah de blah, but its important to remember that whatever is goes on in the mind is a world in itself- thats why so many people with mental illness are deep thinkers; philosophers, very mystical and spiritual. However that is your world and not someone else's.
Hope this helps
