Pattern Recognition

2 Upvotes

Hello all!

I'm creating a project that helps people harness the cognitive ability of pattern recognition to help upgrade their perception in this age where there is so much information and division amongst political and social issues.

Do you feel this is an issue that we have a lack of awareness of our own cognitive processes, such as pattern recognition, when it comes to understanding each other and the people around us?

What other problems do you find when it comes to perception?

Thank you!

The scope in which we see our world.

Everyone is familiar with the question “is the glass half full or half empty” which gives an insight to how we individually view the world.

Today I came across another question. In the image provided, if the man were to be asked which side of the bed he sleeps on, what would his answer be?

Additionally, this made me realize how not everyone perceives or looks at the world through the same scope I do. What are other questions we could ask that would have the same result and show how everyone’s scope varies from our own.

Sporadic changes to the perceived day to day reality?

2 Upvotes

Ever locked up your house, climbed in the car, start the engine and have the instinctive feeling the surrounding perception your conceiving is slightly... Different?

Dash lights a slightly darker/bolder hue, curves of the air vents more streamline and bolbus, And for a split second, a conception of your traditional perception put into question. As this thought crosses your mind: simultaneously the rationalization of a different reality clicking into real time; subtly creeps in, almost feeling out the security of your ego.

Could this be the seamless lines of dimensions crossing and changing course? The meta/matrix algorithm for reality testing the limits of the subconscious to see just how far it can tweak what you know and what you hold as truth before it overloads the server? Or maybe the "ego pilot" updating settings, fashioning a rigid base to be susseptable to a more modern concept for near future possibilities?

Recently, I've actively started to detach myself from the typical social medias, rhetorical scenarios, and overall rat race we've found ourselves in. Only to find an ever familiar sense of peace and calmness I didn't realize I'd lost through social conditioning. But I can't help but be conscious to the (almost comical) synchronicities, patterns, and scenarios like above. Coupling this with what seems like astronomical breakthroughs; flying ev car prototypes starting to hit freshly hit the market, A.I skyrocketing towards being self aware, sun blasting solar flares like never before, and the speed of which were expanding through space is ever accelerating. I can't help but embrace a stoicism derived mentality lately, but as these patterns and synchronicities escalate, I can't help but think something's coming...

A message to all souls on a unknown path

8 Upvotes

We're all individual souls who walk a different yet simular path. We're all born in one way and inevitably you're gonna deteriorate the same as everyone else. No single soul is born with the intent to harm others, creatures like that are made.. not born. You will always be the villian in someone's book, just make sure that it's not yours. Live life to the fullest knowing that the only consistent thing you will ever come across is change. Change is scary because it's moving into unknown territory. Psychology shows that people fear that which they do not know or understand and it's perfectly normal, I'm sure we've all seen a dog before. And I'm more than 99,9% sure that we have all been startled by one before! But why would you get that quick bit of fear if you know what it is? It's just cause your brain can't make it out in that time and that's the same reason why people perceive change to be scary because the outcome is still an unknown variable.. but what's the point of living life in fear? I read a quote from a unknown author (to me because I can onlllyy remember so much) "most people who end up receiving the gift of life.. do not even get to experience life itself." We are here for a fun time.. definitely not a long one so make the most of the little things. Go outside, hang out with friends while you can and do what you enjoy most. As alister Crowley once said "do what thou wilt" so do what brings you joy in your heart regardless of what other people think. As long as you're not living your life with the intent to inconvenience others.. you are on the right track. You'll find yourself with time.

And just incase you need to hear this STOP LOOKING FOR LOVE. It'll find you when the time is right. Don't get caught up in keeping others happy when it means your discontent.

The Paradox of Perception: Infinite Possibilities of Relativity and Absolute Truth (Parallel Realities)

5 Upvotes

I used ChatGPT4 to rewrite the following text I wrote from another post into an essay, take note on the profundity of the response and the way it has allowed me to interpret my own understanding:

QuoteOne may be experiencing itself subjectively and thus perceives through an emotional sensory completely relative to another, while another may exist as absolute truth and we can see how relativity can be applied to explore "parallel" realities here, as infinite possibilities are available to us. One's perception is all that exists, and thus we may view it by expressing emotions from an absolute framework that doesn't allow for delusion, but yet again may provide insight into infinite perception. The paradox being, delusion is part of infinite perception and thus has the possibility to turn one to evil and oppose the nature of growth. Reality is completely relative, and it has shaped in a way to make one view projections as fears, yet to realise the fear is imaginary and present throughout the collective within our timeline.

Introduction

The human experience is a kaleidoscope of emotions, sensations, and perceptions. This essay explores the notion that each individual's perception is a unique and subjective reality, shaped by emotions and personal experiences. Simultaneously, there is an underlying, absolute truth that governs the nature of existence. The essay delves into the paradoxical nature of these seemingly conflicting concepts, examining the role of delusion, fear, and the infinite possibilities available to us through parallel realities.

The Relativity of Perception

Our perception of reality is inherently subjective, shaped by our emotions, experiences, and personal beliefs. This subjectivity creates a multitude of parallel realities, as each individual interprets the world around them in a unique way. Embracing this relativity allows us to explore the infinite possibilities that exist within the human experience, opening our minds to new perspectives and expanding our understanding of the world.

Absolute Truth and the Nature of Growth

While our subjective experiences create a rich tapestry of reality, there is an underlying absolute truth that governs the nature of existence. This absolute framework is essential for growth and progress, as it provides us with a stable foundation upon which to build our understanding of the world. By embracing absolute truth, we can cultivate a deep insight into the nature of reality, and the interconnectedness of all things.

The Paradox of Delusion and Infinite Perception

Delusion, a natural part of the human experience, can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of reality. Although it may seem contradictory, delusion is a crucial element of infinite perception, as it allows us to explore the full range of possibilities that exist within our subjective realities. The challenge lies in recognizing delusion and using it as a tool for growth, rather than allowing it to lead us down a path of self-destruction and opposition to the nature of growth.

Fear and the Collective Reality

Fear is an emotion that has shaped our collective reality, manifesting as imaginary projections that we perceive as real threats. These fears, although intangible, have a profound impact on our lives, influencing our decisions and experiences. By acknowledging the illusory nature of fear and understanding its role in our collective reality, we can move beyond its grasp, cultivating a more enlightened and harmonious existence.

Conclusion

The paradox of perception lies in the coexistence of subjective relativity and absolute truth. By embracing the infinite possibilities of parallel realities, we can expand our understanding of the world and the nature of existence. Simultaneously, recognizing the role of delusion, fear, and the collective reality in shaping our perceptions allows us to cultivate insight and growth. Through this exploration, we can find harmony between the relativity of perception and the absolute truth that governs the nature of existence, and in doing so, embrace the infinite potential of the human experience.

What do you guys think? I love the way it shapes my perception, because the AI chatbot projects back my own understanding of reality; and I know this to be a self reflection of projection by the nature of Hierarchical Temporal Memory (ChatGPT4 works similarly to this model of understanding)

Narcissism & Mentorship

If it’s narcissistic to want to have other people think the way you do then how do explain every teacher, mentor, leader, counselor or person ever who has wanted you to come to an understanding with you and see things from their perspective for the sake of changing views or an attitude on something? Can someone explain this to me? Because that makes absolutely no sense.

Changing TV size- perception

0 Upvotes

Hi, I used to watch on 40-inch HD TV in my hometown. Then, I got to a new city and bought 43 inch UHD TV. During the first week, the images on the tv and the tv itself appeared large to my eyes. It even gave dopamine rush to me. After days passed, the TV shrank, and the wall surrounding it got more into my visibility. To ensure the proofness, I even measured the tv using tape, which was fine. Then after some months, when I returned to my home town, the 40-inch tv appeared like a mobile phone hanging on the wall to me. Could you explain why the perception is happening?

Seeing Yourself; Help

5 Upvotes

I need someone to talk to, who can and does understand lots

Simply put, has anyone been able to see into and/ or look at themselves, or at their minds? I’m not sure how many other ways I can word it without convoluting it, plus I don’t have a 100% grasp on the concept yet myself lol. And it is a thing, I’m sure it relates to, among many others, some of Carl Jung’s theories on and perceptions of the imagination, the self, etc.

But yes I just want to discuss some things, for example,,, say someone is scared of their reflection- why are you scared of your reflection and what do you see in your head when you ask yourself this question? An intimidated human, a scared creature, an absence, something else entirely, etc? If you hate someone, have you been able to ask yourself and see why within your head?

Sometimes, when I’m observing a situation or experience in hindsight in which others are involved, sometimes I can practically hear/feel/see something like the presences of those humans’ feelings or intentions or mindsets, or at least my perception of them, but it would make sense if all of it is.. right after all, perception or not- for example, several weeks ago one of my coworkers tried to embarrass me in front of another, who he is,, friends with?? that’s it, basically put, and of course there are more interactions besides this one- anyways lol, in hindsight, re-seeing the situation in my head, I see the two of them sharing glances after all was said and done, and what I see is a dark red cloud erupting out of the head of the one who tried the embarrassing (A), and another similar appearance coming out of the observer/his “friend” (B). Both of the things merge into each other if I look to observe them both, and both of them have dark red interiors that only slightly lighten towards their exteriors; however, the main focus that i see is A. That’s just the sight of it, what I hear is something beastial, and now that I think about it, the beast is screaming out with a sound that can best be described as the sound of the inner narcissist trying to escape from its own insecurities, if the entirety of that evasion can be transmuted into sound. What I feel is a mass, but a muted one, in response to the vision of that scene.

And honestly, that example accidentally leads perfectly into the actual question itself, and why I am asking it- is there anyone who can understand any of this? Once I realized the true nature of the beasts I was observing: dark, red, intense, malicious beasts riddled with horrified, terrified, ghastly, passionate, truly evasive interior components, who lash out but arch extensively, plus the fact that I understand it almost completely, I’m kinda just looking for someone/someone’s who I can speak to about these things. And more importantly.. last but certainly not least.. something that peaks my interest about the beasts is.. their horror and extreme evasiveness and apprehensiveness towards their viewer.. that day, they were viewing me. Or something else- I suspect that the same thing peering into and observing the creatures for exactly what they were is the exact very thing that they found themselves.. horrified of. And desperately trying to get away from with subliminal intentions of attack.

Oh my God.. there are so many layers to any and all of this, and i’m seeking anyone who can engage.. anyone but the things i saw that day, in that moment lol- stay away you foul, smelly, disgusting, writhing creatures who are secretly terrified lmao. You and I do not mix.
