Perception Colours What We See

Thursday 13 October 2022

Perception and Distortion

A man asks about perception and distortion. Rupert says that he used that word in relation to William Blake’s poetry. Just like wearing orange-tinted glasses, all perceptions colour what we see. Perceptions are limited by the faculties that perceive. We don’t create reality itself, but our senses make it look the way it does to us. Our senses make reality look as if there are many, and we forget this.
