A Treatise on Perception and its Effects: Utilizing the Perception of the Individual within the Personality Matrix and How it Acts as a Precursor to Decadence, Deterioration, and War by Nicole Terry When addressing a perception of truth (truth being a version of facts, a version of evidentiary actions, a conceptualization, realization, or cogitation of an external occurrence or happening) two actions take place: The acceptance that the perception being presented is that belonging to the verbalizer of said perception, complete with history of experience within that individual personality matrix; and The acceptance that aforementioned perception is truth (the acceptance as truth, does not imply validation). Once the aforementioned two causes take place, one is able to investigate another’s perception without suspending, capitulating, surrendering, assenting, or consenting one’s own perception of life. When there is a Failure of Acceptance, war, argument, or conflict occurs. War is the refusal to accept another’s perception as that of which it is and purports to be. For an individual, to become emotionally attached to the presentation of another’s perception involves suspending his personality matrix and his belief in his perception to the invalidation of the other’s perception. When in situations dealing with individual perception, there can be no external validation, not actually, considering the external source would be unable to perceive as the individual did in reaching his logical conclusion of perception. However, when dealing with an external source of perception—that is a generally agreed upon version of facts, or truth, such as “earth is round”, “gravity”, and so forth—which are not only perceptions but perceptions of an individual who, through investigation and experimentation, deduced his perception of an external source, all parties involved, either possess knowledge of the external perception through his own experimentation and investigation of proof validating his perception, or are in possession of a third party’s knowledge of the external perception, and has agreed to that third party’s knowledge of the external perception by accepting its validity as compared to knowledge already ascertained, the individual personality matrix of perception need not come in force. As the discussion would encompass knowledge solely possessed regarding the external perception and the transference of knowledge between individuals. Disagreements may occur, as well as debate, but this is not the same as war, argument or conflict, in that there involves no invalidation of personality matrix of perception, therefore no emotion or animosity arises within the individual bringing about any attack upon the other. Once one’s individual perception has been presented in a public forum, meaning available for public access, that perception becomes subject to scrutiny from other individual perceptions, who may, by way of council, question the means by which the perception or deduction of perception was deduced. When two or more individuals converse their personal matrix of perception, before there is room for acceptance of perception, there must be a realization of that perception, otherwise no investigation, council, reciprocity, or relation can happen. When in the company of other individuals, the individual self is suspended, in lieu of the now collective group self which communicates or converses regarding an agreed upon external perception, which becomes subject to the collective scrutiny of those individuals involved. If there is a Rejection, Denial or Ignoring, without due process of logical conclusion, exploration of knowledge, discovery, demonstration, manifestation, or documentation of validation of either an individual’s perception of truth or truth of an external perception, argument occurs. Further denial, rejection, or ignoring causes Conflict, the existence of conflict soon erupts into War. When there is no external perception validated within a conversation between a collection of individuals, no individual has any evidence or means of validating another individual, save that of any shared or agreed upon perception, a mingling of each individual personality matrix of perception; in the absence of a Covenant to that effect, no acceptance can occur without the suspension of the individual’s internal perception. This is not unlike annihilating the individual’s perception, in order to assent acceptance. War, Conflict, Argument occur when an individual within its personality matrix of perception believes that his perception ought to be had by another; or when he believes he can change the perception of another to match his perception (of course, the individual considers his perception to be absolute and therefore infallible) and the other does not change his mind. Automatically, the perception of another is concluded invalid and untrue; therefore, object of attack and wrath. What would give an individual cause to believe that his perception is infallible? The belief in the conviction of his perception, regardless of any form of evidence to the contrary. It would seem difficult to present evidence to the contrary of an individual’s perception unless that individual has made an assault on the character perception of another individual, in which case the other individual by disagreeing, has represented evidence to the contrary (making this statement with the assumption that one is not presenting an untruth). But that Perception of the External Reality is flawed because the External Reality may be agreed upon and Consented to, however, the External Reality is based upon a nothing. The External Reality of government and Governmental agencies is creatures of paper and ink. The existence of the paper and ink documents what Will Be then is Imprinted in the Susceptible and Programmable human mind. How to eradicate the Branding? Through means of another form of Information, which brings the Realization that the individual’s personality matrix is not unique, but the repetitious, traditionalized, customized manufacturing of Personal Perception. In other words, perception has been commercialized and advertized. One might conclude that there is no true Individuality, once conceived upon a grander scale. For how can there be? There does exist the Organism. The wave and frequency of Humanity in motion. Humanity tends toward Convergence even as it Diverges. For do not those that diverge eventually encounter others who have Diverged and are Welcomed? Does not this collective group of divergent individuals then converge as a single organism? The tug of war between divergent and convergent organisms is the physics of Human nature, and this relationship of force is yet even a grander single organism, though through a microscope so to speak would appear as individual units. Multiplicity is just a chaos of singularities ordered. Multiplicity from a grander perspective is still a chaos of singularity ordered, who knows how far it goes? © Copyright 2008 Nicole Terry ALL RIGHTS RESERVED [back to Treatises]  [more Writings]
