Buddha Perception
Buddhism shows us that it is all about how we make the unreal into the real in our minds: from the subjective into the object. Â We can take an unreal subjective experience in our minds and make it into an object. Â We can take an illusion in our minds and make it into an object: that collection of objects becomes our personalities. Â We become us as a result of something unreal that started in out minds. It is very much like how a painting is conceived: from an idea, unreal, an illusion of the mind, to an object that is the painting itself that you then hang on the wall for you to look at. Â Take it a step further: whole of the idea of society was created that way: from an idea to this structure we live in. Â The objectified “self” in its playground. A Disneyland of sorts just to emphasize the idea of the city. The mind IS society manifested. You see the structure of society and you see the workings of the mind, like you see a painting and you see the original idea that you subjectively conceived in your head.
Art allows you to see how the mind turns as a concept in the mind is manifested. Â Artist struggle with each painting to see the Truth in its compositions. Â To finally find that best song that represents all or the painting that says all, yet one painting follows the other hoping that the next will show something of the Truth in it. Â Yet Buddha points out that it is this objectifying of the illusion in mind that is the culprit.
Your experience goes from your physical external sensors: eyes, ears, smell, taste, touch. These sensors then generate a feeling in you when experienced. This then creates an emotional response. I want that, I like that, if only I could that. Â It becomes an experience and is objectified. Â It is then incorporated into the ‘self’ and you become as a result of it. Â All from an experience, generated in the back of your head. A sensation. Some electrical impulses zipping about in your head to be then made into an object that is you with your “self” firmly generated and incorporated into you.
So if your existence is as  a result of of this type of becoming in your mind, then how real is your existence: “existence is only an experience”. It is this entity that is created in you that brings the pain and suffering.  The self does not exists if there is no becoming. It has to be all a lie, right, created from the unreal and turned over in your head and made real.  It could have gone any which way.  The possibilities are endless what you might have become. This becoming creates the “I” in you. It creates the ego.  It gives the ego a reason to exists. It keeps the personality intact. It gives you a feeling of existence in your mind.  “Existence is conceived as the existence of a “self” with the “world” and living is the involvement of the “self” with the “world”.”
“The “self” and the “world” exists only in experience.  When we realize that experience is all that is, that it is the basis on which existence stands, and that existence is the product of experience, we are free of existence.  This is experiencing experience, instead of experiencing existence. This freedom from existence is NIRVANA.”
The mind: sensors to feeling,to emotion, to perception, to constructing the object in yourself. Â To become that no-self where only happiness dwells, you don’t need everything after feeling (above). Â You stop the lie from being generated without going into the emotional side of your experiences. Â Don’t let the occasion rise in emotion. To live with only feeling and no emotion is only to be aware of your surroundings. That is what it means, ” to only live in the now”, before time has had a opportunity to generate a thing in you.
The process in painting can show you how your mind turns before meditation shows you silence and stillness.
If Buddha was an artist he would have no need to have to paint.  He would have transcended all human weaknesses.  The purpose of Buddhist practice for man and woman on earth is to reach the perfect state of existence by seeing itself better.
Dr. Punnaji was first a doctor of medicine who then became a monk. He brings a more scientific approach to the workings of the mindbodysoul.

Update
Memories forming in the brain.
“HOW THEY DID IT
The experiment tracks molecules crucial to making memories, which were given fluorescent ‘tags’ so they could be observed traveling in real time in living brain cells.
The Einstein researchers stimulated neurons from the mouse’s hippocampus, where memories are made and stored, and then watched fluorescently glowing beta-actin mRNA molecules form in the nuclei of neurons and travel within dendrites, the neuron’s branched projections.”
