Book 1:3 Perspectivity Theory

Book 1.3: Perspectivity Theory

Essentially, any person’s Experience is a range of information about the world carried to that person’s conscious-awareness by way of very well known and documented, traditionally studied set of interactions occurring between brain and environment. A well articulated body of literature describing the bio-psychology of sense-perceptions describes in detail the exact mechanisms by which any abstracted person, let us call the person Aki, becomes aware of herself and her environment.
This process supposedly carries information from the Outside Reality into the realm of Aki’s Inside Reality, her conscious-awarness. However, what is typically missing from the account is precisely that which Eastern philosophies centralize into their conceptualizations of reality: That is; what meanings the sense-perceptions have and the reactive and interactive manners in which the co-influence of meaning and way of viewing interact, are the VERY ORIGINS of your sense perceptions CAUSING one to have any experience in a particularized valence of quality: GOOD/BAD, POSITIVE/NEGATIVE, BEAUTIFUL/UGLY...etc.

In other words, Western Philosophy tends to assert the notion of ultimate, universal truths of a positive nature, while Eastern philosophy recognizes the completely relative nature of perceiver to perception; that without eyes one cannot see, and that with negative eyes one sees everywhere a negativity. That the glass is half empty, rather than half full.

The simplest thought experiment to describe the heart and core of Perspectivity theory lies with the adage,

“The glass is half empty or half full.”

The social fact of a glass at half capacity is wholly acknowledgeable by all who have the vision with which to see; if that vision be healthy, “normal” and functioning according to the design of vision and sight. However, despite the fact that all seeing people see that the glass is at fifty-percent capacity, entirely different worlds of meaning can exist between each viewer. At its most extreme and opposite, two people may see the glass as simultaneously “Half-full” or “Half-empty” exact and non-conflicting descriptions of a supposedly obvious an undeniable external reality; a cup a half capacity.
Yet, between these two non-conflicting perspectives lies an experiential world of difference; FULLNESS or EMPTINESS or UNITED BOUNTH and NOTHING. How would you rather experience the Glass? How would you rather experience your life? Most people, I would hazard would say they wish to see their life as half full!!!! Alas that most do not see the glass half full, begs the question: Why, How, Might they?

I profess that there is a Way, a Path, and a Light leading toward this line of thinking. it is simply called a Perspective which informs one's actions, words thoughts and deeds.

However, many are the people, institutions, cultures, ideas, modes of thought, and Delusional Perspectives which would have you see, believe, think, feel, and “know” otherwise. And there will be a sometimes uncomfortable challenge in walking the tight rope of family and friends who cling to Delusional Perspectives on Self, Other, and Life that are many. So be wary as you travel this Philosophical Path; it is wise to speak of this journey to no one unready to hear, listen, realize, understand and or manifest the journey with you. For,

Only those ready to receive a lesson can identify a teacher. And only those willing to be taught may teach themselves the lesson.

Perspectivity Theory has something to say about Life, at multiple levels of analysis and is a truly comprehensive and engaging mode of dealing with, approaching near to, and shaping and influencing one’s life and, therefore, life itself. To benefit concretely from perspectivity requires nothing other than a shift in consciousness, costing nothing but effort and wherewithal. And this shift is, in quality, much the way in which shifts in an optical illusion may cause one to go from seeing the rabbit, to seeing the woman in a sudden shift “of perspective”.

Perspectivity theory will articulate the exact manners by which time and space are understood as perceptual experiences of a supposedly external REALITY; concurrently, the theory simultaneously asserts time and space are each and together cognitive constructions wholly unreal in the manners in which they are perceived, reacted to, and understood by large segments of society. Moreover, if one re-evaluates the essential nature of these truths, one may come to a lifestyle free from suffering caused by anxiety, fear, anguish, compulsion, anger, hate, rage, and disdain. All the defilements of Judgment; one of the three anchors to Hell. (these being Judgment, Cruelty, and Non-Acceptance – More on this later).
