Perception and Reality
You may assume that you perceive reality, and that's exactly what you do.
Only not in the way you assume do.

Most people associate their actions with their judgements because most people are subject to semantics.
They don't understand that words you can say don't necessarily describe to anything real, but can become real.

What is Real?
What makes the world come alive is your perceptions.
Your actions are the direct expression of your perceptions.
The world you articulate arises from your perceptions.

Perception is action, articulation, manifestation.
Judgement is just your evaluation of all that.

To understand the power of perception, you have to get one basic thing.
– Sensing is about survival
– Intuiting is about thrival
The two functions coexist as they do for this simple reason.

What is reality? What is the world?
It comes in two flavours: the Fabric of existence and the Hologram that you project from it.
The Intuiting function reads from Fabric, the Sensing function projects the hologram.

Think of the mind-body as a gramophone:
The Fabric is the record.
The Intuiting function is the needle reading from it.
The Sensing function transforms that into sound (objects, colours etc.).
Thus you produce the music, the world you see – the Hologram.

Reality is asymmetric. To survive you only need relevant bits of it - not the entire recording.
Hence the Sensing function geared to keeping you alive:
- Extroverted Sensing about mechanical awareness, eyesight etc.
- Introverted Sensing about own-body-awareness, taste etc.

Why make things this complicated? Why would the Sensing world not be the world of the real?
The clues are many. I will give you only a few.

Pay attention to the cognitive types with strong preference for Extroverted Sensing:
- ESFP & ESTP (Se hero)
- ENTJ & ENFJ (Se child)
Then tell me they are not people trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.

Then tell me they are not people trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
One of the easiest ways to recognize the ESP types, especially early in life, is the 'clunky' and tense way they walk.
They're very active physically, but they just aren't terribly relaxed in their own bodies. They have a hard time relating with surroundings and other people

The four types with the strong Extroverted Sensing preference are also the most abrasive socially.
You may think that ENTPs and ENFPs will argue too much and alienate people. They often do.
But ENFJ and ENTJ are who get lost in the absence of social cues (observable by Se).

People with a strong preference for Extroverted Sensing have big trouble reading people's intentions.
People with strong preference for Extroverted Intuiting can tell you what you will end up doing before you yourself know it.

The second clue that what Sensing gives us is not the true nature of reality is precisely this - that Sensing cannot see around corners.
– Sensing looks into the past-present to keep you alive.
– Intuiting looks at the whole thing so you can be more than a cockroach.

Third, this is consistent with neuroimaging experiments:
– People prompted to use their Extroverted Sensing would get activated intensely in small regions in the brain.
– People prompted to use their Extroverted Intuiting lit up like a Christmas tree.

As far as neuroimaging evidence exists, Introverted Sensing is the least energetic function and Extroverted Intuiting the most energetic.
Energy conservation is consistent with asymmetric risks of survival.
Energy expenditure is consistent with asymmetric opportunity of thrival.

The Hologram exists entirely as a collective energy-conservation mechanism.
The Hologram is entirely the product of your mind.
Descartes' Theatre is 'correct' – only, your mind is the projector, not the observer.
You literally 'create' what we call the physical world.

What's in the Hologram?
– everything you see, touch, smell etc.
– everything you, and science, measure
– every semantic system: language, mathematics, logic
None of these things are 'real'. They can kill you, but they are not what a priori IS.

The Hologram is narrow and bounded because it's an energy-conservation mechanism.
That's why when you reach the boundaries of a semantic system you observe 'weird loops' and 'circular thinking':
– quantum physics
– cosmology
– epistemology
– 'metacognition'
– causal inference

When you dig deeper with the semantic and object-based instruments of the Sensing function, you keep finding more and more layers of turtles.
But ask yourself this:
If you can't perceive something with your Sensing - Extroverted or Introverted - how do you know you did it?

The Sensing function is how you project physical reality (the Hologram) from metaphysical Reality (the Fabric).
The Intuiting function is how you interact with the Fabric and 'exist' within it.

To perceive something, you must somehow interact with it.
What you can interact with, you can manipulate.
Perception is action-manifestation.

What's the Fabric like?
If anything I've so far told you is anywhere close to the truth, we can hardly say that in (holographic) words.
But we can say a few things about what the Fabric is NOT, which can help you interact with it better.

If there's one thing I'm confident about re the Fabric, it is this.
I don't claim originality in this view.
The Introverted Intuiting function is how you manipulate your future.
The Extroverted Intuiting function is how you manipulate the future of others.
You bend the Fabric not through judgement but through perception.

When Plato spoke of eidos (form) he likely spoke of the 'shape' of the Fabric – natural law or whatever you want to call it.
Metaphysical eidos from the Fabric is projected by mind as literal shape in the physical Hologram.
Logos is the eidos of wisdom and authentic knowledge.

I will stop here:
– because this is work in progress
– because the deeper I go, the less engagement I get
– because the Hologram dictates I have to make money to keep doing it

PS:
Aesthetics is the eidos of Beauty.
That's why every time you try to describe aesthetics in words, you dilute your aesthetic experience.
