The working of our mind as humans extraordinarily has no set limit or rules on the interpretation of certain stimuli. As life goes on we take in so many different visuals, audio, and our senses work like labor workers in the fields of grapes during the Great Depression. It would be quite unusual to actually see our minds as fields and view ourselves as workers in any way other than in our respective careers. Sometimes, we tend to glide and simply skip over the unusual and hard to explain complexity presented before us at corners of our life. We fixate on looking for visuals in every way possible. Whether it be viewing our own minds as fields of grapes or how David Foster Wallace brings to life the idea of choosing. We seek out reality in the

a humans' five senses. This is so, because Imagery is noticeably present within many scenes. This allows for individuals to obtain a complete experience which includes all of the five human senses which is sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. Act 2, Scene 1 is a perfect example of a scene that imagery can be seen within. Inside, examples of personification, similes, and metaphors can be found. With these literary devices added, it guarantees a better understanding. This is so, because they allow readers to create an image in their mind of what is happening while reading.

restricted to a “man made reality”. When looking at it, a man made reality inside a

And what do we perceive besides our own ideas or sensations? And is it not plainly repugnant that any one of these or any combination of them should exist unperceived?” In an effort to anticipate any criticism that his argument might obtain, Berkeley plans to respond to what someone might say if they were to support a representational theory of perception. A representationalist might suggest that Berkeley’s argument is invalid because premise one could only be true his idea of “perceive” is being used indirectly, and premise two could only be true if “perceive” is being directly

For this reason, we can say that our beliefs, character and situation are behind the thoughts that create our reality. French philosopher Henri Bergson used to say that “The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend”, hence: our perception of reality is greatly obscured by outside forces. Our interpretations of reality are extremely complex and subject to considerable molding from outside pressures such as feelings, added knowledge or every day conversations that shine.

consciousness. This in itself is something that scientists and philosophers have struggled with for ages.

He also shows when you sleep the objects he perceives in his sleep are not from objects external from him.

Moreover, Rumi classifies the difference between the body and spirits with God being at the top as he is the spirit of all spirits and the meanings of meanings. Mystics are said to have gnosis due to the fact that they have knowledge of God. Additionally, at the same level as the mystics are saints and angels. To expand, angels are said to be pure light, knowledge and consciousness in constant prayer and remembrance. From here are humans who are half angel and half animal. Additionally, within the body three things could occur to make up the person; first, the angelic nature predominates in order to overcome the impulses of the self. Second, the beastial nature can predominate in which the person gives into the nature of the beasts. Last, is the person is in the middle, meaning the person is struggling and striving to become angelic. As humans we are all lost and trying to find our way to God, in order to do so we need to find cosmic love as that is how God unleashes himself on us. The final portion of the hierarchy consists of beasts who exist within the lowest world of dunya. It is known that as humans it is in our nature to seek out the angelic, although it is often found in the wrong places. Moreover, forms are the reflection of beauty of God, likely why happiness or the meaning to life is often sought in the world of forms. However, seeking forms is bound to fail because forms may slip outside of our hands, they are limited and they will not always allow for happiness the same way that God provides

We begin relating to our Essential Self or Soul. It is our Essential Self that accesses our intuition and finds the Infinite within.

The metaphysical aspect of philosophy brings out the whole as a complex structure and the idea is mind boggling, but insightful in view of questions posed. The metaphysical concept agrees with Stephen Mumford’s depiction of man as a metaphysical animal made up of several parts interlinked or integrated to form complex reflexes and systems. Essence is useful in tackling the notion of whether wholes are sums of parts (Mumford 13). Philosophy and its principles would concur with Mumford by citing that even if there may be change in particular properties an object such as color or texture, the object is deemed the same in its innate composition. The particulars of an object as a whole are just the bundles of the properties, and the strata, which is not known is not necessary in accounting for the present world.

Most often, these notions are expressed through symbols. It is thought that your conscious mind does this as a “censor” to protect you from the alarming, possibly harmful, images conjured by the unconscious.

This involves becoming deeply aware of what actually IS in the present moment. This can be anything. For example, if you have your eyes open you could become totally visually aware of your immediate surroundings, plus any sounds too. If you have your eyes closed, you could become aware of aspects of your body, such as your breathing, your posture, your feeling of relaxation (or tension), plus even being aware of any thoughts that may naturally arise.

The findings of this study are very beneficial to the field of psychology and in society. The essential part relating to the field psychology is that this experiment exposes that mental imagery and perception share some of the same mechanism. Meaning that both imagery and perception manipulate perceptual and mental images in the mind and brain. In ways that involve creating and or

Our minds are split into two different areas the conscious and subconscious. The conscious part of the mind is everything that you are able to detect while you are

The conscious mind is a widely debated, undefined phenomenon. It can and has been simplified to three manifestations, the conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious, however, it is yet to be fully agreed upon what consciousness actually is (Corsini & Wedding, 2011).
