The Origin of Perception.

I cannot say, that I have tried to think about this topic, before starting on this post. I am trying to advance this post, by advancing my perception. This is how I attempt to blog new posts. To come back to my topic, how do we find the origins of perception? In perception, when perceiving, we look forward. Hence, to get the origins of perception, we have to negate, positively what causes perception. Perhaps, while remembering past experiences, our perceptions are progressing. How do we regress our perceptions? By regress, I do not mean go back to archaic perceptive beliefs, but the reversal of the perceptive process. If all perception is progressive, then the most regressive personality, is actually progressive. Those who do not see progress and regress in their personality, they do not move in the realm of new perceptive processes. If progress is moving forward, what is moving backward? Is it regress? regress from what? What are we looking for in progress? To come toward the culmination of the process of progress. By this sentence, I mean, to move to a level of progress, that after which we cannot progress any further. This is an idea, but is it really so? Does anyone want to progress, for the sake of progress only? Why should I progress? For what reason should I progress? Would I be content, if my need for progress, ceased to be a need? If I am wanting perfection in my progress, what was the imperfection in the origin of my process of progress? When did I start to want to progress? What was the need for me to begin my quest for progress? Was this need in me, before my birth? Is it possible, that a baby can have a need for progress before being conceived in the womb of it's mother? I find the idea as impossible, but if we are progressing, then the progress was under way, before our conception, in our mother's womb. This is impossibility, becoming possible. But, we must admit, that we were not aware of our existence, before our conception in our mother's womb. Now, we are aware of our progress. The idea of 'progress', originates from the influence of Western Europe. An Olympic swimmer like Michael Phelps, measures his progress, by defeating his previous records by millionth of seconds. This is perhaps the nature of the awareness of progress. What is it, that we want to gain from this awareness? Is the fact of the matter, that when we make records, we believe that they will not be broken? Who will not break the records? If no one will, 'no one', includes ourselves, the cause of the records. Is the cause of perception different in different circumstances? Is a perception not a perception, in different circumstances? If all perceptions are basically perceptions in different circumstances, then what is the difference between the concept of progress and regress? Will Michael Phelps be Olympic Champion in 3100 A.D.? Will he continue to break his own record for the remainder of his life? I do not ask the obvious questions, only the questions which need to be answered. What do we gain from our concept of progress? An Ostrich mentality? I ask this not derisively, but in a perfectly clinical manner, and I am not a clinical psychologist. Is the "Ostrich Mentality", or the desire for the "Ostrich Mentality", the cause of our problems? Why do we need an "Ostrich Mentality"? Is it because, we want to hang on to the perceptions of the past? If we hang on to old perceptions, what do we perceive? What we are perceiving now? What are we perceiving now, that which we have not perceived before? For an example, changes in ourselves, which we have not experienced in ourselves, before, perhaps. We are happy, if the changes are fortuitous, and unhappy, if the changes are unfavorable. But we do not believe, that the impossible can occur. If a man sees a ghost, he will take his sighting of the ghost as a fact, if he believes, that he is perfectly sane. Why are we not incredulous to change perceived in ourselves? Because, we have experienced the change within ourselves as the change within other people, in different times, and not related to ourselves, when we have perceived the change in the other people. I have completed what I had to express, and will expound, perhaps later, when I have the chance.
