The Spirituality of Perception

Without proper perception, our way of seeing will be flawed and we will not be grounded in reality. We perceive through our senses, so perception is on the level of consciousness which is at the level of senses. We base our life on perception and constantly transform knowledge into wisdom.

To perceive properly, we need to have all the channels clear. Up to now we have perceived through the senses. That is how we acquire knowledge and information. This information is then processed through the mind whereby we come to a conclusion. Our sense of perception is linked to our personal experience and emotions, so it can sometimes be flawed since our experience is not a direct one and we are using emotion, as well as experience as an intermediary to filter it. For right perception we need direct experience to find peace and stability which will then influence every aspect of our life. We should not opt for less than direct experience.

Meditation take us into an area of our psyche which is not influenced by our senses. It bypasses the habitual way whereby we relate to everyday experiences. When direct experience becomes a habitual practice, we move into transformation because we no longer have control over the process since we allow the situation to speak to us on a level that is clear and clean because we will not be using our senses as a filter. A situation can create a range of possibilities, but experiencing the situation directly will allow the situation to speak to us in a different way.

Some people are viewing 2012 through their perception of fear. Through a direct experience, it will be perceived that it is an experience of transformation and co-creation. Our thoughts then become manifested in reality because we open up to a higher dimension which because my thoughts are aligned with source, they will then be manifested. People who are not aligned will still manifest their thoughts but if these thoughts are directed inward, they will self-destruct. We have to be responsible for our thoughts, transforming knowledge into wisdom, giving us a direct experience with what is. Perception has to help us remain balanced whatever happens.
