Senses deceive

During the period that I meditated, I was able to make so many connections to Descartes. I didn't lose my senses, but they definitely were limited. I couldn't hear that well and I couldn't see so it really was left to my conscious mind to understand that I never left. Although my senses deceived me to thinking I was in some kind of sanctuary and not just above the highway. When I felt the moss underneath me I felt that I was in atop of a hill or in the woods. It was my conscious mind that told me that I hadn't moved. Also at points I felt that I had lost balance or that I was slowly falling, my logic told me that it was because I was seated at an angle. Without that logic I my senses would have tricked me into thinking outrageous things.
