“As you are aware, no perceptions obtained by the senses are merely sensations impressed on our nervous systems. A peculiar intellectual activity is required to pass from a nervous sensation to the conception of an external object, which the sensation has aroused. The sensations of our nerves of sense are mere symbols indicating certain external objects, and it is usually only after considerable practice that we acquire the power of drawing correct conclusions from our sensations respecting the corresponding objects.” CertainPracticeObjectsActivityPerceptionIntellectualMereDrawingSensesConclusionNervousSymbolsAcquireSensationsNervesConceptionPeculiarImpressedNervous SystemCorresponding Author:Hermann von Helmholtz
“I think the term "interbeing" has cropped up in a lot of places. It's in the atmosphere, because it's just so true, and the time for that truth to be revealed to mass society is here. It's like in those French bakeries where they don't need to add yeast to the dough, because the yeast is so ambient in the air that the dough gets quickened whether or not you add yeast to it. Many people, even without doing a whole lot of study and reading, are coming to the same kinds of conclusions and perceptions about the world as I am.” PeopleThinkingWorldKindReadingTermStudyPerceptionConclusionAtmosphere Author:Charles Eisenstein
