Perception Rely

More From Alison Jackson

Perception without the word, which is without thought, is one of the strangest phenomena. then the perception is much more acute, not only with the brain, but also with all the senses. such perception is not the fragmentary perception of the intellect nor the affair of the emotions. it can be called a total perception, and it is part of meditation.
Meditation Perception Brain
We have to have loving speech. and if we are honest, if we are true, terrorists will open their hearts. then we practice compassionate listening, and we can learn so much about our own perception and their perception. only after that can we help remove wrong perception. that is the best way, the only way, to remove terrorism.
Heart Practice Listening
Realism and naturalism rely mostly on the eye of the flesh. abstract, conceptual and surrealistic art rely mostly on the eye of the mind. great works of art rely on the eye of contemplation, the eye of the spirit.
Art Eye Mind
You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.

The musician - if he be a good one - finds his own perception prompted by the poet's perception, and he translates the expression of that perception from the terms of poetry into the terms of music.
Expression Perception Musician
For my part, when i enter most intimately into what i call myself, i always stumble on some particular perception or other, of heat or cold, light or shade, love or hatred, pain or pleasure. i never can catch myself at any time without a perception, and never can observe anything but the perception.

Similar Quotes
Sorrow, terror, anguish, despair itself are often the chosen expressions of an approximation to the highest good. our sympathy in tragic fiction depends on this principle; tragedy delights by affording a shadow of the pleasure which exists in pain. this is the source also of the melancholy which is inseparable from the sweetest melody. the pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself.

Oh, what a world full of pain we create, for a little taste upon the tongue.
Pain World Littles
Meanwhile, the trees were just as green as before; the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever. the familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain. she might have seen that what had bowed her head so profoundly -the thought of the world's concern at her situation- was found on an illusion. she was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself.
