How does one come to understand anything? Life's perception is based solely on its learned knowledge, experiences, and feelings (the five senses). Knowledge, experiences, and feelings are unique to each and every life. By the way, plants and trees do have this knowledge. Otherwise, they would not know when to grow or when to stay dormant.
1. The learned knowledge are acquired through various sources such reading, writing, and thinking. 2. Experiences are acquired through interactions with reading, friends, teachers, and thinking - including the surrounding environment. 3. Feelings are acquired from 1 and 2, knowledge and experience. Perception is, therefore, based on these three items and perhaps more..
To simplify the concept of perception is to come up an easy to understand equation (e.g. mind + consciousness + recept (already formed idea) + precept (society and culture) + miscellaneous (current senses) = perception). This, in my view, is how one perceives things. It is because of these variables that we come to understand things differently; and that we are unique in our own right.
With that said, it is best not to argue with your colleagues. If they think that they are right, it does not really make we are wrong. We, both, could be right based on the above equation. It is best not to be too firm with one's belief but to be open to the possibilities that are out there. When we have this type of understanding, we can accept why our colleagues believe the way they do.
In short summary, perception is based on one's own learned knowledge, experiences, and feelings. Perception comes to exist from the followings criteria:
1. Mind - the Central Processing Unit of a living body
2. Consciousness - memories of the past (information attained)
3. Recept - recessive of the past perception or understanding (formed idea)
4. Precept - moral conduct or rules based on the society and culture (religion or cult)
5. Miscellaneous - an immediate influential source (friends, teachers, or present feeling)
This is my view on perception. It does not make me right or wrong. Likewise to the readers.
