the illusion of human perception...

Not that I understand the human mind but it's simply the most complicated machine on the planet.  And the most powerful.  It has the ability to perceive, ponder, and process information. The ability to think, dream, and realize.  It can remember, and it can protect.  It has infinite capabilities, some of which we are not even aware of.  But perhaps the most impressive of all, is the ability to create reality through perception.  If I eat an orange, it is the mind that will convince me of the taste, the smell, the texture.  It is my mind that will let me know whether or not I am enjoying the orange.  Through the perception of the orange my mind convinces me that it is reality.  That's the way I was created to live.  It is impressive and wonderful.

So here is a truth.  Every moment of my life is an intimate interaction with the creator, the only change is my perception.  

As impressive as the human mind is, it is not infallible to error, or misperception.  Count it a blessing only your heart will be judged.
