You are an Inkblot

Perception is more about projection than most can imagine.

~

Think of inkblots.  In the same inkblot, some see an angel while others see a monster.  Yet it is the same inkblot.

~

Remarkably, many inkblot world views are realities.  One such reality is Newtonian science.  It works.  Others (though out of mainstream popularity) include yin/yang theory, five-element theory, and the nine graha theory.

~

This does not imply that all world views are realities.  Some are simply incorrect, i.e. not consistent with how the world actually works.

~

Remember that humility is the flip side of wisdom.  Have a humble relationship with your perceptions.  Remembering that you live in an inkblot world can help.

~

Are you perceiving or projecting?  Is there really any difference?  In the depth of their hearts, the wise know that perception and projection are one.

~

Truth is an inkblot.
