“Without a body and without time, I wasn't disturbed by my ego or by the function or dysfunction of my brain and memory. And during my pure perception within the source, I had no opinion either. I didn't even have an 'I.' An opinion is tied to the ego, and the ego to the body. Without any of this, there was only objective consciousness.” InspirationalBodyMemoriesBrainConsciousnessOpinionSourcePureEgoPerceptionFunctionObjectivesTiedDisturbedDysfunction Author:Pim van Lommel
“The function of criticism is the reeducation of perception of works of art?

“Art's effect is due to the tension resulting from the clash of the collocation of elements of two (or more) systems of interpretation.

“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others' reasons for action, or the basis of others' emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.” PeopleSelfReasonShowsActionUnderstandingEmotionTeacherChildhoodFashionPerceptionAppreciateFunctionBasesDepthMaturityInvolvementEmergingSelf CenterednessCenterednessPerception Of Others Author:Terri E Apter
“One has a more practical survival level, that's the mind function. The heart function obviously has an internal level that has to do with the quality of developing perceptions, feelings, the self.

“It's important to recognize the vital role that the financial markets play in our economy and that so many of you are contributing to. To function effectively those markets and the men and women who shape them have to command trust and confidence, because we all rely on the market's transparency and integrity. So even if it may not be 100 percent true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged, that should be a problem for all of us, and we have to be willing to make that absolutely clear.” IfsMenShouldMayImportantPlayProblemGamesRolesEconomyClearWillingHe ManIntegrityShapesPerceptionPercentMen And WomenFunctionFinancialCommandRelyTransparencyContributingFinancial MarketsRigged Author:Hillary Clinton

“I think the function of suffering is to let me know that my perception is skewed; what I’m doing is judging natural events in such a way that I am creating suffering within myself. For instance, you have pain over certain conditions, certain situations that occur. And if you just say ‘ok, here I am, I’m going to experience the pain,’ you don’t suffer. The resistance and the degree of the resistance to the natural phenomenon of life causes tremendous suffering.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayPainCertainSufferingCausesNaturalSituationConditionsEventsJudgingDegreesPerceptionCreatingLet MeFunctionResistanceInstancePhenomenonHere I AmNatural Phenomena Author:Hubert Selby, Jr.
“Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelationship of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends.

“It win be a device that will permit communication without any time interval between two points in space. The device will not transmit messages, of course; simultaneity is identity. But to our perceptions, that simultaneity will function as a transmission, a sending. So we will be able to use it to talk between worlds, without the long waiting for the message to go and the reply to return that electromagnetic impulses require. It is really a very simple matter. Like a kind of telephone.” WorldKindLongTwoMatterUseAbleCoursesWinningWaitingSimpleSpaceIdentityCommunicationReturnPerceptionMessagesFunctionImpulseDevicesPermitTelephonesIntervalsTransmitTransmission Author:Ursula K.
