What is Perception?







Perception is how the mind interprets sensory information
- sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell -
to create our understanding of reality.
It is shaped by a person's prior knowledge and expectations.
On Perception




Perception is shaped by both our conditioning and our intentions, influencing how we interpret the world.
1.CONDITIONING:
early life, past experiences, cultural background
On Perception
2.OUR INTENTIONS:
expectations, motivations, mindset





These influences can operate both
Consciously and Unconsciously,
On Perception
shaping the way we process and respond to our surroundings.





The term 'perception' is used ambiguously in English,
applying to seemingly opposing concepts such as:
On Perception
Thought vs. Opinion
Knowledge vs. Judgement
Viewpoint vs. Consciousness
