Read the Extended: On Physical Reality and Perception (due to the Interface-Body Apparatus)
Brought Forth…
Perception is underrated. In the everyday conundrum of tasks, we use very little of what perception could look like. And most importantly, what it could give us as an output we could practically use for our results—those outcomes we’re looking for.
If we’re talking perception through the sensory system of the body, there is a need to intercept and verify the object of perception, the one doing the perceiving through the paraphernalia of biological systems allowing it to be the case.
But that begs the question: How else could we perceive?! Or, what with, could we do the perceiving act with?
Extended apparatuses like our phones are designed primarily to interact with the body’s sensory system and output accordingly. It means we get to read because the eyes can see (aided by the visual cortex), or hear because the auditory system allows it, or touch, and direct and interact with movement because of our synesthetic and kinesthetic abilities.
When we turn inward to observe the object of attention doing the perceiving (and that is just another way of referring to ourselves as that attentive point inside the body), we have the opportunity to do more, to ask for more (literally, of ourselves).
Show-How…
That is related to the way we “communicate” or do the interacting with the body.
The directing of a different kind of action inside the body, that of which is unexpected by the body because the body is used to having to deal with and process different kinds of impacts which come from a different direction trajectory, outward-in.
When confronted with the rerouting of direction in which it receives the impact, it is as if it is learning something new from it and for the very first time. It needs a small but circumstantial amount of time to readjust its readings before it initiates the processing of that “unusual” impact.
And what does that have to do with perception? Well, for one thing, it recalibrates the system to receive a different kind of input (the specific kind of information contained within the bounds of that frequency impact), and for another, it processes it in its usual ways through intercellular communication pathways into the brain, which, when converted back as a biochemical release into the body’s systems, aligns with its deliverer’s location inside the body (and that’d be you) and interlocks, connecting its systems to it.
That is to say that you’re recalibrating your sensory system to take another kind of information that could potentially enhance it.
Good to Know...
When you find yourself inside the body, as in, you determine the location, physically, you’re coming from, inside the body, at any given moment, you’re engaging with that very same mechanism of commanding inputs inside the body, from within your “point of attention” into the environments inside the body.
That process of pulsing electromagnetic activity into the brain and back into the body and aligning with you inside gives you a door, a physical one, of connection [from your location inside] into the world outside the body.
It is a way to stance yourself while in the interactions with the world. And when you do that, you experience and, thus, “perceive” the world a bit differently. So much for enhancing our capabilities, right?!
