It's strange how knowledge changes perception.
That changes your whole perception of the film, your perception of the ending...The challenge for us, especially with the Lord of the Rings is how do we deliver that one piece of information that makes you look at the films differently?
Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes.
How can we speak of the action of the mind under any divisions, as of its knowledge, of its ethics, of its works, and so forth, since it melts will into perception, knowledge into act? Each becomes the other. Itself alone is.
Perception is a wave. You change as your perception of something changes because you define yourself as a reflection of whatever you happen to perceive.
Clothing totally changes my perception of how I feel about myself depending on what it is that I'm wearing.
It is important to note that the world changes and that perception of music changes as well.
A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love-from a belief in what is not real, to faith in that which is. That shift in perception changes everything.
'The Power of Habit' is the exact kind of non-fiction I love. It's smart and interesting, and it changes your perception how you do what you do or why you are who you are.
It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.
I don't think anyone except the few people who have played James Bond can tell you how strange and special it is and how much your life changes.
Because knowledge changes so rapidly, knowledge flow is more important than knowledge stock.
Nor is it strange That after changes upon changes, we are more or less the same
There is a major ingredient missing from our perception of how changes are brought about; that ingredient is power.
Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. Then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. Such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. It can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
It is strange how a memory will grow into a wax figure, how the cherub grows suspiciously prettier as its frame darkens with age-strange, strange are the mishaps of memory.
The older you get, the more you understand how your conscience works. The biggest and only critic lives in your perception of people's perception of you rather than people's perception of you.
