"Insanity, as it is labeled, is sometimes merely the result of a strange situation, in which certain individuals use the ordinarily dormant portions of the brain as well as, or sometimes largely in place of, the recognized portions. [Their] perception of reality is therefore largely alien to society."<br/><br/>"Insanity as a term means nothing. All mental life is characterized by divergent perceptions of any given set of sense data that is recognized as Reality, with a capital R."<br/><br/>"Those who perceive [a] set of data in such a way that agreement is reached are called sane. But none of you perceives the same reality."<br/><br/>"Those whose ideas and perceptions of reality are completely out of line with the general agreement are called insane."<br/><br/><b>Seth, Jane Roberts</b><br/>—The Early Sessions Book 7 Session 308 December 12, 1966
