All this talk of perception and words makes me think of the quote 'the diference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning-bug'
@Eldritchard ;lol huh??? not following one bit... can u ex plain what that means? "'the diference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning-bug' ???
I believe the 'labels'/'designations' we give each 'object' or 'phenomenon' are the cause of what we believe to perceive(are perceiving). Label(or designations) give reality it's perceived substance/solidity...Take away the designations/labels/concepts and your external experience becomes "empty"..So in a sense we ourselves have been programmed...I couldn't agree with Cornel West more though.
so true what we pressie is an accumulation of all others consciousness together, break free of this, freedom is within your thoughts don't follow the pack follow your thoughts only it will set you free, only consciousness exists.
To free yourself from the false reality is not to look for another "reality" but the freedom in your mind. Not to attach to anything. The "world" are made up from 4 false elements, WIND, FIRE, WATER, EARTH.
The reality is the totality of them, but also unattached to all the element.
Not to be affected negatively emotionally by the false reality. Keep the middle path.
Does anyone know of any exiles that might help me get out of this realm?

it's impressive that Kant predicted so much about Neurobiology in his analysis about how the mind perceives the world.

Yes.
That quote is wild.
If you're not on a certain level, that quote will make superficial sense.
An associate and I cross-chatted for 30 minutes all because I forgot a comma 30 minutes prior.
I've developed entire theses and sub-theses
based upon simply pondering the context, meaning and intention of a word.
I've disproven theses by the same merit.
Indeed, an "almost right" word can in fact bend perception in the OPPOSITE way than meant by the speaker.
Same in thinking too
Bias is enemy

Mind create your own reality.
Your reality might be manipulated.
To free yourself from the false reality is not to look for another "reality" but the freedom in your mind. Not to attach to anything. The "world" are made up from 4 false elements, WIND, FIRE, WATER, EARTH.
The reality is the totality of them, but also unattached to all the element.
