Can you believe what you see?
Is your reality much more different from the collective reality?
Is the collective reality based on only how much we as a highly functional and social beings perceive with our limited senses?
Apart from the obvious there is more out there, like Isaac Newton said:
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” –Isaac Newton
So how do we as a species expand our mind to perceive, then accept what we haven’t imagined, or thought to perceive for centuries?
How do we train our brain to see the unseen?
The answer is simple, yet difficult –
Move away from the traditional system of education.
The current education system’s biggest flaw is it prevents students from stumbling in the dark, search for their own answers and coming to their own conclusions.
So what does this have to do with the universe?
Scientists holding themselves back from proposing theories that seems radical and impossible that it is ridiculed and later down the line gets proved right by someone else.
We need to stop making these mistakes, to prevent the speed bumps in advancement of science.
We need to become more tolerant of other thought processes because trying to streamline and organize thoughts is a sure shot way to destroy the creative process.
Back to perception.
We see the world in three dimensions.(Stating the obvious but bear with me. )
The light from the objects fall on our retina, but it is creating a two dimensional image on your eye, so it is your brain that is constantly correcting or “rendering” the image to make you perceive the world as three dimensional.
Isaac Asimov in his series of robotic novels alluded to how maybe our senses which are defined yet restricted by nature, when recreated and built upon artificially in Robots could make them perceive more than we do, like infrared rays, UV rays or maybe more…………?
Science does not offer any explanations for the paranormal….
Why exactly is that?
We have explained phenomena that have some physical change, something we perceive, some things we can verify, something that has sample cases to make sure over and over that what we think is real.
Maybe, since we cannot perceive with complete surety but the slight perception that we do have we are accounting it to human flaws.
String theory for one allows the possibility of multiple universes.
What if one were stuck between these universes?(Trishanku!)
What if all the universes were tied together and the imbalance in one drastically affected another, wouldn’t we want to know?
What if there were people out there who could actually perceive these universes but were differently treated, thought of as diseased and locked up to be miserable and alone?
How long would it take for us to realize what’s out there and course correct -When will Copernicus be heard???
Or would we stumble upon it in our own insignificant ignorant way that we so casually term “serendipity”?
We are still walking down the well beaten path and not paving a path of our own-not willing to take the risk of facing social ridicule for being different, conforming to what they think is acceptable, clinging to the way things have been done for so long.
Not that there is anything wrong with learning from our ancestors, Germans are looking at ancient Indian manuscripts for spaceship designs-this has to tell you that our ancestors were way more advanced than we are now.
What I mean is break free from the tiny box we limit ourselves to smothering ourselves ,taking out the excitement of new thought processes and judging other people for how different they are because, that’s not how nature works.
We are all different for a reason, with every generation the best genes keep moving forward through natural selection, we are nature’s chemistry set 🙂 .
Different is good!
Awkward is better!
Weird is mind blowing!
Embrace your quirkiness ,because we need to shake ourselves out of the mold we have dug out for ourselves!
