I think it will be very clear at the time that we die and see Him, that we are not hallucinating. I don't think it'll be possible for us to think otherwise. It will, of course, be possible for us to see Him and choose to reject Him and thus reject goodness/love, but I highly doubt it will be possible to genuinely think we are hallucinating.
This is all my opinion of course.
But yeah, I think the point is to be fully aware of the truth, and make the decision to turn away from it anyway.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
