Truths Deciphered


"I am thought.  I can see what the eyes cannot see.                             I can hear what  the ears cannot hear.                                I can feel what the heart cannot feel."                       Peter Nivio Zarlenga
Perception is integrated with all five senses:  taste, sight, touch, smell and sound.  This sounds remedial; however, the depth of power or the lack of recognition we share with these signs alters our comprehension significantly.  Our awareness streams from high alert down to numbness or total lack of awareness.
An individual may see an action repeatedly in their mind which once caused trauma, but be unaware of the impact to the other senses.  We may not be aware of the smell of gasoline or cologne which may be triggered in the future.  Adjusting to the memory of horror, we may overlook the taste of dirt or blood in our mouth.  Post Traumatic Stress Disorder highlights the reoccurrence of original sound or touch in later life situations.
It is important to remember our perceptions are generally tainted by filters from previous situations.  This is why it is imperative to truly examine our opinions or philosophies and to listen to others with a clean slate, not colored by our own experiences.  Every day we are bombarded by the reactions of the five senses which automatically are absorbed in our conscious or subconscious minds.  Perhaps this is why there are so many truths deciphered from a standard script.
