See for yourself.
In a silent mind, when the self/personality is not, you become all-knowing. You see all—the extended brain-mind.
Awareness. When the self/personality is not, the Truth is.
Conscious awareness can see the action of Truth, but thoughts cannot directly see what conscious awareness sees. Your Truth is the silent mind in the present moment, “now” in you, with direct experience and perception. Light carries all the information that is needed for you to see the Truth around you and within. The eyes receive information, and the brain processes it as the “what is” of perception. What you see is what you are part of, wired into the fabric of the universe and the mind and perception show you what it is. This is the direct experience of Truth. Then thinking and the use of language in thinking can show you why your Truth is perception but then remember — the “truth” via thinking is a mental construct — a made up truth by thinking and understanding. It is fragmented and incomplete, but what you see with perception in mind is the Truth.
In the silent mind, with awareness and perception, you see the “what is” of the Truth of things.
The Role of Entropy in Perception
The remarkable thing about high entropy is that it contains all possible patterns and probabilities. It holds everything within it, and the eyes and brain work together to find the right pattern, presenting us with true reality as perception. High entropy, by its nature, is chaotic and unorganized, a sea of possibilities waiting to be interpreted. It is through this process of filtering and pattern recognition that the brain constructs a coherent experience of reality. This makes perception our ultimate reference point for introspection. If one seeks to understand how things work, how the system is created, and how it all fits together, perception becomes the guiding light.
Interestingly, this filtering process explains why two individuals can look at the same scene yet perceive it differently. Each brain fine-tunes its interpretation based on prior experiences, biases, and expectations, making perception both universal and uniquely personal. Perception is what we see, yet what we see can be interpreted differently. Even though the sensory input remains the same, the emotional and cognitive responses to it vary, creating a diverse spectrum of human experiences. This diversity enriches our collective understanding, but it also highlights the potential pitfalls of extreme interpretations. When perspectives skew too far to the right or left, losing balance and centring, they may distort the shared truth that perception offers.
This dual-level process — seeing and sensing — reveals the subtle yet profound impact of mental constructs, such as language and thought, on perception. While perception starts as a direct interaction with reality, the addition of cognitive filters often alters its essence. Language, for instance, labels and frames sensory experiences, imposing structures that may enhance clarity but also skew interpretation. It is this very interaction — between raw perception and interpretive constructs — that creates both the richness and the fragmentation in how we understand reality.
The phrase “the truth becomes the lie in me again” reflects the tension between perception and interpretation. While perception reveals raw, unfiltered truth, our mental constructs — language, thought, and biases — reshape it into something that fits our internal narrative. This reshaping can distort the original truth, turning it into a “lie” by veering away from its pure form. This cycle underscores the challenge of maintaining clarity. The truth of perception can quickly become fragmented when overlaid with constructs, leading us to question whether we are truly seeing reality or just our interpretation of it.
To navigate this dynamic, it becomes crucial to remain aware of how constructs influence perception. A centred approach requires recognising when thought, language, or biases distort the purity of perception, allowing one to return to the clarity of “what is.” This balance — between experiencing and interpreting — is what enables perception to act as a reliable guide in uncovering universal truths.
