We artificially separate experience into two fields: ‘perception’ and ‘field of perception’. The term ‘perception’ applies to the way in which we register the presence of the world through our sense faculties. The term ‘field of perception’ applies to the world that we perceive. With divisive logic we distance ourselves analytically from direct experience. We lose our ‘knowing’ and end up 'knowing about’'. Our perception and field of perception are mutually self-creating. What we see incites a reaction which influences how we see it. How we view things changes how they are. Enlightened Mind is divisionless. Our perception and field of perception are completely and utterly interconnected, and this fundamental indivisibility is the real nature of experience.
