Consciousness: Perceiver and Perceived

A man questions the nature of vision and light, exploring how movement relates to time and distance to memory. Rupert explains that perceiving faculties correspond to how reality appears – the mind comprises seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling, so the world appears as sights, sounds, tastes, textures and smells. He clarifies that consciousness is both the ultimate reality of the perceiver and the perceived, with perception serving as the screen that divides this seamless whole into apparent knower and known. The man is advised not to expect appearance to change – only understanding.
