Human perception shapes our reality from "summary" of Code Name God by Mani Bhaumik

Our perception of the world around us is what constructs our reality. Our senses gather information from the environment, which is then processed by our brains to create a coherent picture of the world. This picture is based not only on the external stimuli we receive but also on our past experiences, beliefs, and expectations. Our perception is not a passive process; it is actively shaped by our thoughts, emotions, and biases. These factors influence how we interpret the information we receive, leading to different perspectives and understandings of the same reality. Our thoughts can distort or enhance our perception, creating illusions that may not align with objective reality. Our beliefs and expectations also play a significant role in shaping our reality. If we believe in something strongly enough, it can affect how we perceive the world around us. This can lead to confirmation bias, where we search for and interpret information in a way that confirms our preexisting beliefs. Our emotions can color our perception, influencing how we interpret events and situations. For example, if we are in a negative emotional state, we may perceive neutral or positive events as negative. This can lead to a distorted view of reality that is influenced by our emotional state. Our biases, whether conscious or unconscious, can also shape our reality. These biases can lead us to make inaccurate judgments or decisions based on preconceived notions or stereotypes. They can prevent us from seeing the world as it truly is, limiting our understanding and knowledge of reality.
  1. Our perception is a complex interplay of our senses, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and biases. It is through this process that we construct our reality, shaping how we experience and interact with the world. By understanding the role of perception in shaping our reality, we can become more aware of the filters through which we view the world and strive to see things more objectively.
