Perception vs. physical reality, your potency expanded, and finding home
Take the Deployment: The Location Inside the Body You Can Safely Operate From
Brought Forth…
It is enough to perceive. But perception, delivered by the machinery you're doing the perceiving from/with, is simply the output of that environment (your body’s, primarily). It does not show that of what it is. It gives more of an approximation, a general appropriation you can match against other perceptual experiences, e.g., mine against yours, so we can both say we see red in front of us. (Or whatever other “object” we collectively assigned a meaning to and are used to by now, without further questioning.)
That doesn’t mean the “thing” you’re looking at is not in front of you, contrary to the idea that “physical reality is merely a construct of our minds.” That’s a misconception. The “thing” in itself, its physical constituency, is very there in front of you indeed, it’s just that the device you’re using to perceive, and thus, experience it, is giving you a very specific output, one that is not necessarily, and most likely not, representing with fidelity or accuracy that “thing” in itself.
These are outputs. A result that is always delivered to you (and notice here, again, how this statement clearly makes the separation, distinguishing what is you and what is the body) after being processed by and through the machinery doing the processing. “Color,” other than being the name we give to it, when in the act of seeing it, more so, confronting it [and this deserves an elucidation-parenthesis in itself] (because we do not want to enter into the argument that your observation does not change the fact that that physical object standing in front of you is there, and it has been there without your having a say in it; yes, you can impart to it later, influence its constituency later, but the integrity of its physicality is there, without needing to ask for your permission to be there in the first place), is a physical object in itself made of innumerable particles that, in unison, collide and roll into a dance we do not get to see through this device-body. (Brace for expansion!)
Show-How…
“We’re all one,” but not. Your singularity—and here I’m not talking about the traits of your personality, I’m referring to the potency in which you come through, [the very act of] inhabiting the body, responsible (i.e., your potency’s response ability) for “making” it a body, the elementary particles that constitute what you could call “you” at your most foundational level—carries an intensity of charge that is attuned to the peculiarity in which those pools of particles of you move about and into the body.
And if you’re not in sync with it, because it takes what it takes, life becomes about “finding what you’re looking for,” the eternal search and struggle that accompanies that unbalance.
So look around you, but from within-out. Find that space of you inside the body, and come back home to you, first.
Good to Know…
Any kind of perception that relies on the device alone, the one being used to do the perception with, will necessarily lack the ability to see through directly, the expansiveness in which you come through.
Imagination (the act of “imaging” a thing by engaging in “remembering” or “seeing” it anew) through the body is when we recur to the brain’s way of interpreting imagery, it comes segmented by the ways of the apparatus.
And you cannot experience what you cannot perceive. A lot is lost in between those spaces of non-perception, of enormous activity, without you, more precisely, without your being aware of being there to accompany it, to follow through; with your being more with the body (its movements) than with you (yours), already inside the body in the first place. You have to find you first.
