    Perception and Reality

    Uploaded by

    Mohan
    This document discusses the difference between perception and reality. It explains that our perceptions of sensations, thoughts, ideas and feelings seem real to us but are only relatively real and distinct from absolute reality. All forms of energy are spectra of vibrations that are partly visible and accessible and partly invisible and inaccessible, making our perceptions always relative compared to the absolute reality. Unless we understand that our perceptions are distinct from absolute reality, we will continue perceiving the world based on our senses alone.

    PERCEPTION January 2
    AND
    REALITY 2010
    Feelings, thoughts, ideas, images or concepts that we
    become conscious if observed calmly are only results of
    our perception of sensations. They seem and engage our
    minds as though true. There is this physical light that
    makes sight possible. We can move into darkness or shut
    off lamp to be unseen. There is that Light omniscient, Personality
    omnipotent and eternal that we can’t hide away from,
    disregard forever or live without. The only playing field Surrounds
    where in we erect worlds of our making. All forms of The Reality
    energy are spectra of vibrations partly visible and pliable
    and mostly invisible and inaccessible, making our
    perceptions always and surely relatively real and distinct
    from absolute Reality.

    PERCEPTION AND REALITY

    The other day the Pressure cooker was on


    Wonder, where was the stream of steam to be?
    Could not see it being there, when upon
    I put my hand above, instantly felt the burn
    Invisible does not mean there is none

    Wonder why I heard not hissing noise


    Pulled ear-plugs off I had since the Sun set
    Rejoiced was I at the sound of jetting steam
    When we are not ready to listen
    Wrong to surmise no one has spoken

    Above in the corner near the cooker


    Was there hanging a string of colorful lights
    Seen in the stream of steam were glowing colors
    Bearing those of lights down the hanger
    In several segments in splendor as I wonder
    Color segments in the stream are not of steam
    Reflections of glowing bulbs down the hanger

    The fluttering flag in the harbor park is quite a sight


    The rumbling noise and the curly motions very evident
    Almost certain I was to think of the flag in adoration
    For the beautiful sight and wavy sounds of its creation

    Something said, haste not, the flag is only the actor


    But by the rapid moving breeze is acted upon
    Hold on! Do not credit the air as the prime doer
    There is this energy moving with force it along

    Churning the air into powerful gusts as it travels on


    Moving the medium, the cloth, in turn in wavy pattern
    Look deeper and we will know the source of action
    Do not bother and we think the outer medium is the doer

    Surprised was I when my supervisor gave me the firing letter


    This after praising me and my contributions in good measure
    Never did he mention if he were unhappy or displeased ever
    Confused and sad was I that he let this happen to me for sure
    3|Page

    It was the Board that initiated the action, he was telling me


    He was to do this being at the giving end, though sorry
    The company needed to get rid of me at an investor’s advice
    I would have wronged had I cursed him in haste for life

    Such unaided flight all by my-self I never had


    Like a balloon aloft in breeze unhampered
    Over the meadows and the hills and the sea indeed
    Without fear felt the body to be as light as a feather could

    Surfing pleasantly along the current of a mighty river


    Wondered how skillful was I never known before
    Seemingly about to dash against a rock or fall flat on water
    A thrilling and scary feeling all the while on the stream

    Not until I was jolted out of sleep


    Did it become clear they were mere dreams
    Almost believed I was capable of skillful fetes
    Concluded the mind had its play within
    While it was shut off the world without

    There is this physical light that makes sight possible


    We can move into darkness or shut off lamp to be unseen
    There is that Light that is omniscient, omnipotent and eternal
    One we can’t hide away from, disregard forever or live without

    The Source of all life, the substratum of our desires, intentions


    Perceptions, thoughts and feelings, actions and reactions
    The playing field where in we erect worlds of our making
    The Light of Awareness, the reason as well as the holder of all
    We experience in spiritual, transcendental, mental or physical spheres

    Feelings, thoughts, ideas, images or concepts


    We become conscious if observed calmly
    Only results of our perception of sensations
    Revealed in enlightening media, awareness
    And projected products of our minds
    The moment to moment consciousness in flow
    They seem and engage our minds as though true
    Only flowing transient events relatively real
    4|Page

    Modulated Awareness is individual-consciousness


    That happens through sense- perception of sense objects
    In the absence of sense objects internal or external
    We perceive none as consciousness becomes pure

    Mind seems vacant in pure steady awareness


    In pure knowing not being an ego-infected self
    No thoughts, ideas, images or words, and no feeling

    Words would not arise with the ego-bubble merging


    In the ocean of Awareness, alive but witnessing
    Water-bubbles burst to be part of the sea, no foaming
    Knower, known and knowledge all together or none

    Unless and until we come to unwavering understanding or firm conviction


    That all forms of Energy are spectra of vibrations part visible and rest invisible
    Part audible and mostly silent, part sensible and mostly not
    Partly usable, pliable, and controllable leaving most inaccessible
    Ultimately leaving our perceptions, with or without aids,
    Always and surely relative only and definitely distinct from absolute reality,
    We do not give up counting stars in the sky or sand particles on the beach.
    Unfortunately, even these are not steady in quality or constant in quantity.
    Mind is perhaps the intruder between the personality and Divinity

    P.S: This is purely based on theoretical understanding and the composer claims no
    knowledge based on experience
