"Look. This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen. In the same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen."

makes sense, as one projects their own visions and views of the world into it to cover it's true form mainly out of fear and conditioning to do so.

Mainly as a result of "The Cloud of Unknowing", which, when penetrated, allows true sight.
Fear and conditioning are merely manifestations of this.
True sight has the effect of dissipating these.
