What Is Perception or Can You Trust What You See?

What Is Perception or Can You Trust What You See?

Which is right?

It is impossible not to believe what you see. But it is equally impossible to see what you do NOT believe. ~ A Course in Miracles

A few days ago, I got an interesting lesson is how deceiving our perception can be. I was at my desk getting ready to open some mail. Looking around for my letter opener, I could not find it.

After searching my entire desk unsuccessfully, I was about to give up. At that moment, I looked down and there was my letter opener — right there in plain sight, directly in front of me. But a couple minutes earlier, it was invisible to me.

What do you think happened? Was the letter opener there a few minutes earlier—or not? Was the letter opener there now—or not? Was my perception wrong? If so, which time? I could not be wrong both times—or could I? Or, was I right both times?

Here is a fascinating TED talk by Daniel Simons, a professor at the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois. It may get you to questioning your perceptions of the world around us, and perhaps the world beyond us.

In the early 1980s, John took a spiritual development course and was introduced to his first spirit guide, Lydia. After Lydia arrived, three other guides also came to him: Archangel Michael, Tamarra, and Chief Joseph. Today these are John’s four main guides.
Besides his four main ones, John has various other guides. The entire group is really a multidimensional collective consciousness. John refers to the entire group simply as “Spirit.” Source
