Perceptions: The Perplexity of Life!!!

The depth of the sea, the horizons of the sky

The beauty of the night, the glory of the sunshine

Reminds me of the highness of the ambitions I have

The stones near the sea, the clouds in the sky

The darkness of the night, the blindness due to sunshine

Make me think of the obstacles to overcome...

Perception is the internal mental world. These are the different perceptions that a human can have for a particular event. It can be of two types:

Internal perception:  When the human try to sense his internal feelings and likes/dislikes.

External perception:  Using the senses to relate to the external world and outside activities.

All activities of human start from the perception. It’s human nature to think on each and every thing going on in its nearby environment. He always makes the first view from the first insight. 

See the two innocent facial expressions.

What comes to your mind???

When you see a small kid running to and fro happily, you assume that the kid is happy.

When you find him staring, you feel he is in search of his mother.

When you find silence at some place, you consider it as a sacred place, or a place of mourning.

Perceptions play a very important role in our life. It describes the personality.

Lets consider few more examples :

Yudhistra's dharma has been overshadowed by krishna's dharma, certainly not in actuality, but definitely in the fragmentary perception of Mahabharata readers and interpreters.The most difficult thing in the process of perception is to make the perception process a comprehensive method of acquiring true knowledge.Our Observations and perceptions are mostly partial, one sided, biased and this defect or limitation that is imposed upon the process of perception gives us a wrong & unclear picture of the object, even if it be God himself, the supreme power of knowledge!!!

There is a common defect present in all perception. The defect is that the mind works through certain blinkers, as it were, and it can look at the object from one point of view. The object is looked upon as an object only and bereft of any other implication in its existence.

When a student is well dressed in class, pretend to be very sincere in his activities, is always blessed with the teacher’s inclination.

When light  enters the eyes,  the images that hit the retina are actually upside down, yet we perceive them as being the right way up.

Look at the picture below:

What do you think , while looking at the first time:

Two faces looking at each other or the vase.???

If you concentrate on the black areas, the two 

faces appear to stand out in front of the white!!!

Or

If you concentrate on the white area, a vase 

seems to stand out in front of the black back-ground.!!!

This is the beauty of perception when you have 

the power to move your mind in number of directions ..

You can think some more also from this picture!!!

In this picture, by concentrating on the white in the centre you can see a woman in the arms of a man,

However, if you focus on the dark grey in the centre of the picture, you can see dolphins.

So, again you see the two versions of reality.But depending on how your mind chooses to interpret that information, will ultimately determine which reality you actually see and experience!!!

We not only perceive things but relationships such as "and" and "or" as well...

Take your hands and hold them up in front of you, separated by a few inches.  You see your hands, of course, and it isn't hard to imagine that perceiving them is a matter of certain patterns of light followed by similar patterns of neural ignition.  But notice that you also perceive your hands as "next to each other," while in fact that perception is not directly presented to you as a stimulus in the way your hands themselves are.

If a baby were looking at the chess set, he or she might respond by attempting to eat the pieces.  A young child may see the pieces as little people.  A chess master may see weaknesses in her position, or traps she may develop.  It all depends on who is doing the looking...

Perception is  all how vast a human mind can visualize different objects!!!
