Perception is REALITY.

Except, there are MORE than one perception. Hence, there are MORE THAN one REALITY.

This is like the stories of 5 blind men touching and describing an elephant. They are ALL RIGHT partially since they CANNOT see the WHOLE PICTURE.

The problem comes when people DO NOT KNOW that they are BLIND.

So, we need the ability to SEE while being BLIND.

Thinkingfox,

<<We know that their versions are not true >>

To be precise, their version is not untrue. It is a part of the WHOLE PICTURE. It is TRUE as per the part of the OBJECT as they are touching. Ditto, our perception is TRUE as per our senses. But, it is a PARTIAL PICTURE of the TOTAL REALITY.

Now, to see the WHOLE PICTURE is to know what we cannot SENSE and to see what we cannot see.

Is that possible?? Yes, to a certain extend. That can ONLY be done by IMAGINATION.

For example, we cannot see a black hole but we can detect a black hole exists somewhere.

How do you teach the blind to see??

Thinkingfox,

You can ONLY lie when you KNOW the truth.

If you do not know the TRUTH, you CANNOT TELL THE TRUTH.

There is a BIG DIFFERENCE between

A) Lying.

B) Not telling the truth.

For example, if you are COLOR BLIND, everything is GRAY. You said that you see a GRAY DOG. But, the dog is actually a YELLOW DOG. So,

1) You are NOT TELLING THE TRUITH.

But,

2) You are NOT lying.

Most of US are NOT capable of knowing what we do not know. We are like color blind people trying to figure what the actual color of a gray dog is. We know that it is NOT gray as we see it when we know that we are color blind. But, we DO NOT KNOW what the real color is.
