58. Perceiving the Happening

Consciousness perceives appearances as objective things in an objective creation. The sensation is of forms. Visual forms, audible forms, thought forms etc, that appear and disappear in /to consciousness. The whole spectrum of sensing is converted to perception to memory, by making concepts of what is sensed, as if to a conceptual 'me'. Sensation is sensed and perception is projected and then re-cognised to memory. The material of existence is nothing but sensations, as if 'matter'. We will analyse sensing and perception as one and call it perception only to clarify an understanding of 'what is happening' even though nothing is happening.

Perception is of wholeness, which includes all scenes, sounds, feelings etc. However, when seen in parts, there appear to be two or three type of perception. One type of perception, may be called with ‘form’ or is objective in nature, or those that seems to have direct reaction to many human forms, in the vicinity of the part perception. Like sound, visuals etc. These  ‘appear’  to be commonly perceived by human forms. In reality, the human forms appear to react commonly to perception of sound and visuals. The second kind of perception seems personal to each human form and are not common to more than one form. Such perception is of emotions, anger, fear, love, pain, depression etc. These forms of perception are formless and come as ‘feelings’ personal to each body, there by directly reacting or expressing the human form as if reacting to the outside world of objects.

All the time there has to be a combination of perception, to make the play of appearance more dynamic. The formless perception and those with forms appear parallelly in consciousness. The snake appears outside and fear appears inside the body boundary, making a meaning, as if, the fear has been aroused by the seeing of the snake. However the seeing of the snake and feeling of the fear has to be aroused by one source, called consciousness in consciousness.

There is one more set of appearance which is also formless, termed as thoughts. These make meaning to the world of objective appearances to give them a feel of reality.  All appearances are perceived with some sort of meaning, as if reality is given to parts of perception, as if in a story and such meaning or stories, seem to be stored as memory. So stories happen to appearances, as they appear, as if happening to a ‘ me’  and are stored as memory. Events seem real with time and space, and so while adding meaning to appearances,  a ‘spacial and temporal  effect’ within their respective  meaning  also gets made. If two objects are seen in one ‘seeing’ they are split as if, seen ‘here and there’ or one seeing the other. When not seen, it seems to have an effect as if to believe,  seen outside of the current seeing limits, like somewhere else. The continuity of appearances ‘seems’ to have more meaning as a duration in the meaning making , as if to mean ‘events are happening’.  Such ‘events’  are added as the story for memory making. Thoughts are a method of using such memorised ‘events’ or meanings to perception, to link it to an assumed past and future probabilities, to make more complete meanings. When nothing seems to be happening, a thought form appears  with its associated meaning, as if giving meaning to all that is perceived, to make into one common story, “The story of me”. It uses, past and future parts of story made, to makes seem, a continuity of the story of me. This pattern of perception, seems meaningful, when IT can objectify or make meaning,  to this form as a person and other forms as objects that make up a world.

So within perception happening, like a dream, a ‘me’ gets set up here and the world of objects get set up there. Suitable emotions react the forms, as if forms perceive and suitable thoughts are perceived to make more room for stories with space and time.

This is the sub story trying to explain the main story of perception. Loll.
