We could say that people with this soul correction stop at the surface, if there were no other dimension. Paper thin reality is where they fancy they live, where things are what they appear to be.
But reality is more like an iceberg: every spot goes deep below the visible, several layers, into the dark depths of the ocean.
Living on the surface, considering the visible to be all there is, gives you a life that is as vulnerable as it gets. You are not dealing with it all.
