Do You See What I See?
Do You See What I See?
Reality Is An Illusion
Albert Einstein said: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Quantum mechanics has shown for more than 80 years now that the perceived reality of hard objects that senses give us, is an illusion. Yet, if things lost their thing-ness, which our senses make us believe in, we’d have little choice but to re-evaluate what is real and what isn’t…
The Mystery Of Perception
If we follow the mystery of perception, many issues arise than the fairly simple one of hallucinations. They are rare, but the brain’s ability to turn electrical impulses and chemical reactions into a world we see, hear, touch, taste and smell, is baffling. There is no light in the brain. Yet, the light of the sun is blinding. This disparity is crucial, because without someone to see it, the sun is invisible.There is no visible light in nature without an eye to perceive it. What if your brain, having taken a totally different evolutionary path, didn’t ‘see’ light but ‘heard’ it? There’s no obstacle to such a development. (During the LSD ‘60s, trippers discovered they could taste colours or see music.)
Om Namah Shivay.
