Perception
If you seek for truth of the universe and of your self identity then there is steps to follow. So the question arises how perceptions is related to consciousness and how consciousness related to truth.
Why we identify and why we give names to things? Basically to remember in our memory with certain identity so, whenever we call out that name we can gather all known information about it in our mind.
The brain tell us that its the body on the basis of knowledge of the world and all the information we hold we recognize. What will happen if I say something unknown to you and you are completely unaware of the word. You do not know that if I'm talking about some place, thing, object human or something else. So holding facts and information which might be useful is the work of your brain.
Our sensory organs helps us to get the experience of the world, most of the things we see as we feel inside in the moment we are perceiving things, or mostly on our upbringing since childhood
While holding lots of perceptions of everything, attaining consciousness is impossible, to know your true self you must start to look things without being judgmental. Let me tell you with an example. Suppose you are hungry and you came to me and you tell me that you are very hungry. I do not have any device to know how much hungry you are right? So for the solution I told you that imagine you are eating lot of food and you are full. Will it calm your hunger? No. obviously so perceptions work like this. First of all no matter how good or with example I will explain things to you, you will only understand them from your point of view until you get realized and have the experience of the same, second, in order to attain consciousness you must leave the path of judging everything, I can tell you with so many example about consciousness and you can hear but you will be hungry until you will really eat the food. So experience is the only key to know your true-self. By seeking it with only knowledge and understanding it, is not going to happen.
Perceptions hides the reality, even if the reality is in front of you, you are not able to see things as they are, you see them as you are, learning to see things as they are, can be attain when you become the one who just watch everything not the one who comment on everything inside your head.
In this world of perception "not reality" no one is right or wrong, as everyone is right in what they believe, when you become more conscious the voice in your head not necessarily stops it will keep going on and comment and put the idea in your mind, its the function of it, however not believing everything what it says is the key.
Reality is like neither being right nor being wrong due to which, the Lord Buddha always forced to chose middle way, the best way. Where you do not see sad as sad or happy as happy you just see that there is situation in front of you In Shrimad Bhagwat Gita, Lord krishna said that the learned one should never be too excited or sad, here do not take that he is telling you not enjoy or not being sad but surrendering yourself to that emotion is wrong while enjoying you should not be attached to that emotion because it will go. its the nature of feelings and emotion but you are eternal.
Moreover, happiness is not related to outer world, opposite of pain is pleasure both of it will not last long, happiness is eternal as you are! when you will realize that opposite of happiness is ignorance and when the ignorance will be remove you will be happy and will start to perceive things as they are.
You will never be able to explain how the reality is, as the person will use its perception to know it, due to which all the liberated or enlighten being will end up telling you what is not reality because reality or ultimate truth can only be experienced not explain. Having perception is normal, you just do not need to give power to the perceptions too much.
Be aware of your perceptions, the more you will judge the more you will feed your ego which will always push you away from reality. Be the witness of everything, Be the awareness.
