If my mind is tricking me, then I can't really trust anything that comes through my senses, including other people, science, my memories, and all my perceptions. So all becomes suspect, and I live in perpetual doubt about everything.
You can choose to live that way of course, but when you realize where it leads if you take it all the way, you basically just end up concluding that all of reality might be an illusion, and you end up at subjective reality.
Now since that could be the truth -- it's impossible to know for sure unless you find a way to escape the bounds of your own consciousness -- it's good to remain open to the possibility.
But then you still have another choice to make. How do you want to engage with all these potential illusions. Do you want to interact with them and explore them, or do you want to fear and distrust them and pull away from them. And there you get the principle of Love -- you can choose to connect or disconnect with anything that comes to you.
Since I find the astral stuff rather interesting, I prefer to connect with that part of my reality and explore it more deeply. Other people may decide it's not for them and pull away from it, tune it out, or believe it to be impossible, and that's fine too -- they'll connect with other things that may be more interesting to them.
