PERCEIVABLE REALITY

Perceivable Reality Is A Constantly Changing Concept

How And What We See Today

Maybe Unlike Our Views Of Yesterday

And Our Outlook Tomorrow

Could Represent A New Way Of Knowing

 

Perceivable Reality Is Invariably Influenced

By Our Cultural Conditioning

Our Political Preference

The Kind Of Sociology We Accept

The Religious Concepts We Choose

Our Ability To Manipulate Language

And An Assortment Of Unconscious Influences

 

To Assure Ourselves

That Our Arguments Are Unassailable

That Our Assertions Are Accurate

That Our Principles Are Perfect

That Our Truths Are Eternal

We Employ Our Tentative Truths

And Imaginary Realities

To Tell Us What To Think

 

Whenever We Are Unable To Prove

The Validity Of Our Views

The Factual Basis Of Our Beliefs

The Reliability Of Our Spiritual Laws

We Use Verbal Fictions

To Describe Our Desirable World With Words

To Preserve Our Preferred Perspectives

And To Paint A Perfect Picture

That Is Compatible With Our Wishes

 

Perceivable Realities Are Personal

They Are Never Exactly The Same

For No Two Individuals

When They Are Looking At Life

Through The Fictitious Creations

From Our Imaginative Minds

That Allows Us To Shield Our Sanity

From All Of The Illusions We Encounter
