There is a certain way I can perceive things and come to practice this way of seeing things on a constant basis. I’ll get right to the point. I try to take a picture with my eyes in respect to my immediate surroundings. Every picture is different and never ever is there one identical to another. The perception in question is when I try to absorb everything in my view all at once in less than a blink of an eye. I try to take a picture of objects that have depth. But I am in less than a second trying to look at the same thing over and over again until I bring into doubt the meanings that I have attached to the things in my view. What I’m looking at is rich in color, rich in variety, rich in time and movement, but it is shocking to my mind. It is when the meanings that I have learned to attach to the things in my view are stripped and my mind trys to redefine what it is seeing. But to say the least, if you remind yourself that nothing is ever the same, that things are in a state of constant flux, we can notice the irregularities which otherwise would have gone unnoticed and dismissed as the same thing. By examining your perception in great detail at once especially when the situation is unfamiliar we can add to our body of knowledge of that which we had previous not known or overlooked. To give a concrete example, try examining objects in motion and interact with it in ways you had never before. Play with objects. Move it and see how it moves for how it moves and push it and see how your energy affects the way it moves then stops then moves again. Try taking pictures of it with your perception over and over again until it comes to a dead stop. Can you see its precision? This entry may or may not be repetitive. But if it is repetitive then I am trying to clarify what I can experiece and if not then it is something new. By discovering how objects move I can interact with them in a more calculable way. I can come to know things of the way they are with greater accuracy. And this is my point. I want to know something from my enviornment that I never knew before. I think people do this every day but never really think about it. I think this process is common to everyone, but you have to be aware that it is taking place or it won’t do any good. The main thing is to look for things that you never looked for before. And you know what you might actually discover a higher form of cognition. And that’s my thing; cognition in terms of perception. By studying your surroundings via perception you can come to a better understanding. But it might be different and the same for everyone. If one person knows the properties better than others then his studying a thing might lead to a more in-depth knowledge of the object in question. But everyone can contribute because we all perceive in different ways. Being cross-disciplined will help a lot, but you can still contribute if you only know a certain kind of knowledge. Perhaps what becomes repetitive among different viewpoints will become the norm and considered knowledge. For example, I like watching objects that have movement for one. I watch how different kinds of birds fly and manuever in different ways. I’m looking to nature in order to invent things in a new way at looking at things. This concept isn’t new. This way of thinking coupled with the imagination can, I think, be a powerful way of developing new technology (on one end) and perception (on the other). To make this philosophy really count is to bring things to a new level. To make the mundane new and exciting. To say the least there I know for certain that there’s room to grow because the sun is something that burns on its own and what seems like infinite energy and thereby we have to recreae such phenomenon. But nowhere in nature do I see a computer, except that it has been fabricated by man. Therefore nature plus the imagination should be a powerful way of making new discoveries. One thing I have to say is that you have to constantly test what you know and keep in question the reality that is in front of you. Question what you experience every day. Although this may become tiring because we have to ultimately hang on to some kind of predictable system. What I want to do is to keep that system and try to refine it whenever I can.
