Expand Awareness...

We perceive only partially and incompletely when we perceive anything through the senses.

When we set up the presentations of the eyes, ears, hands, tongue and nose, that is when we set up human experience as really being what it purports to be, we are merely surface seers.

The things of our experience really bear to the things as they are in themselves a relation resembling that of the hat coat shirt trousers and shoes which a man wears to the man himself.

The senses help us to know certain things only by shutting out many more things from our range of experience.

Hence to know the world as it really is, we would have to expand our field of awareness to a higher dimension.
