Henry tells Olivia that he told her to see the world the way it is rather than accept it. For Olivia, what is the difference between seeing and accepting?

After being hypnotized, Olivia has the ability to see the world for what it truly is. This typically manifests itself in strange visions, seeing people as angelic beings or twisted monsters. At the end of the book, this hypnotism is removed from her, but Olivia still sees the world in a different light. Henry tells her that this is how she’s always perceived things; it’s just been in the back of her mind.
