Description
All one knows of the external or "real" world is from energy which comes from this world and strikes sensory perceptors of the perceptual system. Everything else that one claims to be the real world is our own perception of that world, and this one constantly tries to change so as to coincide with the world in one's head. Right from the first cry after birth one only cares for what is going on in the real world as long as one cannot change it to be like the world in one's head. It is really only the world in the head that counts. The world around is experienced through an orderly hierarchy of perceptions from low or simple to high or complex. These orders of perception are what prevents one from leading an otherwise random, disorganized life as one struggles to gain order from a haphazard world that makes little sense. Although everything is initially perceived through the sensory perceptors it may go through as many as ten orders of perception in order to make sense from it. The input or awareness of the world is not always conscious, if consciousness is defined as perception that one senses as going on right now. There are three kinds of perception - controlled, uncontrolled and new-information. Normally one is consciously aware only of uncontrolled perceptions or perceptions associated with a controlled system where there is a substantial error.
