The Nature of Perception.

When we perceive, we perceive our perception. For example, if we perceive our mother, it is our perception which perceives our mother, where our mother exists as different from our perception. We normally perceive as follows: We perceive our mother, and we feel that our perception is a part of ourselves, and hence, we further this particular feeling, by feeling further, that since our perception is a part of ourselves, our mother too is a part of ourselves, being the object of our perception. Our mother is connected to us by our perception, hence, since our perception is ours, the object of our perception, too is ours. So, the object of our perception belongs to us, because our perception belongs to us. Now, if our mother was not there in our perception, then she would not belong to us, because we would not perceive her through our perception. This is the logic of perception. But, does the perception belong to us? Are we in control of our perceptions? For example, if we step on a thorn, accidentally we would feel pain, despite the stepping on the thorn being an accident. Hence, if the cause of the perception is separate from the perception, is not the perception, too separate from us? The feeling of pleasure and pain is incidental, as we cannot, for example, avoid pain, and the feeling of happiness or pleasure is not a constant for all time. What perceives the perception, if the perception is different from the self? The answer is nothing. If our perception is separate from ourself, then what perceives? Nothing. Because, we cannot identify, what perceives in ourselves, through our perceptions. We find ourselves in a strange bind, which is, to me, the bind of life. How can our perceptions be false, if we perceive? The answer may be, a perception is only a perception. The bind of life may be answered by the following example: What is good? That which is not bad. What is bad? That which is not good. And we find ourselves in the bind of positive and negative, which is constant, and complete. There is no way to move out of this bind, through the consideration of only good and bad. What is beyond positive and negative? Neutral? Or positive and negative? How does a person perceive directly beyond good and bad?

The search for truth.

Why is the human being in search for the truth? Because, his perceptions differ at different times. I may see the color blue, but I can also see the color red, in different circumstances. Sometimes, I want to know, exactly what I am perceiving, or what I have perceived in the past. This is because, I want to know, whether all my perceptions cannot be misplaced by my mind. How is the truth important? If I see what is normally blue, and my mind identifies it as red, then I have seen red, instead of what is blue. So, in this case, the truth is neither blue, nor red. The truth is not blue, because I have perceived it as red, and the truth is not red, because the actual color is blue. Now in the given scenario, if I am desperately in search of the truth, then is it possible for me to comprehend the truth? If not, then how is truth important? What is the truth? Is the truth how exactly I see a given circumstance? My mind may not be aware in the given circumstance. Then do I depend on what I have not seen in the circumstance, so that I see the circumstance better?
Let us be specific. There is a concept called truth. Now the concept cannot be based entirely on perception, through the physical senses. Then, what can the concept of truth be based upon? My belief? What is belief based upon? Is the search for truth through the senses futile? How does one exist with the senses? Is this an important question?
