“Every man feels that perception gives him an invincible belief of the existence of that which he perceives; and that this belief is not the effect of reasoning, but the immediate consequence of perception. When philosophers have wearied themselves and their readers with their speculations upon this subject, they can neither strengthen this belief, nor weaken it; nor can they shew how it is produced. It puts the philosopher and the peasant upon a level; and neither of them can give any other reason for believing his senses, than that he finds it impossible for him to do otherwise.” MenGivingFeelsBelieveReasonBeliefLevelsExistenceImpossibleSubjectsEffectsReaderPerceptionConsequencePhilosopherEvery ManSensesPerceiveReasoningSpeculationPeasantsInvincible Book:The Works of Thomas Reid, D.

“television. It has changed the way that we perceive the world out there, and though we know that - have indeed been bombarded with analyses on the consequences for society, for the family, and for individual psychology - I don't believe that we have yet begun to appreciate the reach of its subliminal effects, of what we might call 'the slow viruses.' They not only get into our ways of seeing, they pervade the ways in which we weave our perceptions together into patterns that support and explain our thinking and our doing and both direct and hinder various kinds of relationships.” ThinkingKnowsWorldWayBelieveKindMightTogetherIndividualSupportPsychologySeeingEffectsChangedTelevisionPerceptionConsequenceAppreciateDirectDon't BelievePatternsVariousPerceiveAnalysisVirusesHinderSubliminalBombarded Author:Elizabeth Janeway
“For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision; I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.” GivingShouldCountryBigsGamesDecisionSecurityPositionIgnorancePerceptionCommitmentConsequenceThreatShouldersThings To DoRight ThingBritainAlteredBig DecisionsGame Changers Author:Tony Blair
“The Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked them how they dared so roundly to assert, that God spoke to them; and whether they did not think at the time, that they would be misunderstood, & so be the cause of imposition. Isaiah answer'd, I saw no God, nor heard any, in a finite organical perception; but my senses discover'd the infinite in every thing, and as I was then persuaded, & remain confirm'd; that the voice of honest indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for consequences but wrote.” ThinkingWould BeCausesVoiceAnswersSawsHeardHonestPerceptionConsequenceInfiniteSensesProphetSpokesFiniteMisunderstoodIndignationVoice Of GodImpositionEzekiel Author:William Blake
“Multi-sensory perception is also the ability to see meaning in everyday experiences...You have non-physical guides and teachers. You access them through your intuition. You hear them 'so to speak' through your insights, inspirations, and clarity. Non-physical teachers cannot control you. You must always decide for yourself how you will use your energy, what you will create. They will assist you to see your choices and the consequences of each. They will guide you to the full scope and depth of your power. How you use your power is up to you.” UseInspirationChoicesEnergySpeakAbilityTeacherAwarenessPerceptionConsequenceDepthEverydayInsightIntuitionGuidesAccessClarityScopeUp To YouSensoryAbility To SeeSensory Perception Author:Gary Zukav
