Lewis went on to say that if the doubts arise
because of some new evidence, or some new fact, that you should
stop and use your reason to evaluate the evidence. He said that
in his own experience, doubts didn't usually arise because of his
reason, but because of his emotions and his imagination. Imagine
if you went in for surgery, and the anesthetic was administered
by placing a mask over your face. Reason tells you that you need
the surgery, and that you wouldn't want the surgery without the
anesthetic, but your emotion and imagination may move you to a point
of near panic.
