Language of Perception
Today, we are talking about the language of perception. Our language itself arose from the behaviour of our perceptual faculties. We even created a form of sign, when we began to really understand the deaf, that would allow them to approximate our own communicative range. But as much as perception encompasses our grasp of language,…

Perceptual Profiles
You can always trust a person to do what is true to their nature. For example, you can trust a scorpion to try to sting you. Yes. It’s true of humans also. Have you ever noticed that hyper-sexualized people also tend to be maybe a bit hyper-kinetic? Yes, the two things go hand in hand.…

Domain of Rational, Reasonable Behaviour
How about the opposite end of the brain, cerebral cortex? (rational, etc.) Ah, this is a very important part. We can never accept as rational that which makes us feel fear. Without exception, fearful behaviour for fearful circumstances are typically described as being insane. Where perception comes in… Let’s say I have a very acute…

Perceptual Issues
Schizophrenia is not multiple personality disorder. It’s a perceptual issue. It’s why they used to (and to some small degree still do) view autism as a form of schizophrenia.

Managing Your Perceptual Channels
Shall we get stranger? You can deliberately inhabit each of your perceptual channels. I describe it this way for a reason. While that experiment I mentioned earlier didn’t explore this, each of your sensory channels is linked to each other. Part of your visual sense is linked to your sense of temperature, and part of…

Inhabiting the Senses
Shall we do something more holistic? I will offer my own perceptual profile. I have a general sense of un-wellness. My body tries to block out awareness of itself. I have become trained to see anything from the body as noise that I at best have to deal with to keep my other channels free.…

Your Reality is the Unknown

Everyone’s perceptual profile affects their personality as well as their language, body language as well as spoken. Perhaps the most complicated part of this is that no one is wrong.
Adding up each of the distinctive perceptual traits of an individual, and the sum of these will shape the assessment of any new information. Taste in food. Taste in clothes. Taste in friends. Your reality is shaped and structured by your perceptions. It’s like your body, and it does come from your body but is projected like a shadow out into the world, and like a shadow it colours every new thing you experience.
“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is – infinite” William Blake (English visionary Mystic, Poet, Painter and Engraver. 1757-1827)
