How can one transcend perception?

How does one transcend the thralldom of perception? There are times, when we feel that we are bound to our perceptions, even when we do not want to be. I mean to infer, that we do not want to perceive in a certain way. Hence, when we do not want to perceive in a certain way, we create conflict in ourselves. How do we overcome the thralldom of conflict? It is our perception, which makes us perceive. We act according to our perception. I myself, would rather transcend the perceptions of favorable/unfavorable. I want to see, that which is beyond positive and negative. I have experienced, that when I am experiencing positive perceptions, then I am not in control of my positive perceptions, because I do not know what I will perceive in the future, even if the future perception is going to be positive. The positive perception, may lead to a negative perception, also, without me being aware of it. To take this further, If I look for positive perceptions, I may encounter a negative perception. Positive perceptions are perhaps instantaneous. It is perhaps unrealistic to engineer positive perceptions. If we cannot engineer positive perceptions, then what is the way out? We can be unattached, perhaps, to our perceptions. If a person is attached to his/her perceptions, then he/she is responsible for the perception, in his/her view. If we try to engineer positive perceptions, then like is the case of an innovator, we are not sure of the end result. What is better, being in a favorable situation, or perceiving a negative situation positively? The former, perhaps. So, perhaps, one should act, without looking at the positive and negative. Is this ignorance, or is trying to engineer positive perceptions ignorance, when one encounters negative perceptions?
