Perception

We all perceive. Perception is awareness or understanding.

We all perceive the Universe or All That Is or God etc, subjectively.

We cannot perceive It objectively, because by definition an objective perception can only occur from outside that which is being perceived.

We cannot be outside It, because we appear to agree that whatever It is, It's infinite and eternal.

Therefore, we are part of It, or within It, or comprise It. So, our perception of It must be subjective.

If our perception is subjective, then each is entitled to their own perception, for there is no objective perception which we all must accept.

So, whatever perception suits an individual is just as valid as any perception chosen or devised by any other individual. This is the nature of subjectivity. There are no other constraints.

Subjective perception is not dependent on physical evidence or logical proof or even common agreement. It is personal and may be peculiar to each individual, although certainly some may share enough similarities in their subjective perceptions to allow them to cluster together or resonate with one another.

To share our perceptions is to share our unique selves and provide opportunities for these resonances.

The grand resonance would be to accept that we are all operating from subjective perception and to be respectful of this fact for ourselves and all others.
