I must apologize to all,
I have not read all the posts in
this forum, and perhaps someone
has already addressed the point
I am about to bring up.
In my opinion, due to improper use
of the word perception, a lot of
pointless arguments are being brought
forth.
You see, perception is nothing more
than our interpretation of empirical
and objective reality. Empirical reality
absolutely can not be altered through
our perception, however it can be interpreted
the way we choose.
You may create a wormhole in your imagination and
travel billions of light years to visit other
worlds, but it is only real for you, not for
others, because you choose to interpret the reality
that way. You can interpret reality as allowing
dragons and goblins to exist, but it won't change
the reality for others. And even if you do change the
reality in your head, the effects will be more
damaging than constructive. Because a constructed
reality is nothing more than an illusion.
In fact, the "perception is reality" approach is practiced by
terminally ill and others seeking to escape reality -
it is called meditation. "See the healing light and
find your cave," - helps those people to free themselves
of pain (temporarily). But does it rid them of their
tumor, illness, or parasites? No, it does not.
Being able to alter the reality is the ultimate dream of
any man. It is the same as being God.
Be patient, one day it will be possible. Not through
metaphysics, but through nanotehnology.
