The human body, the brain, the mind....are an absolute, amazing, miraculous, phenomenon of nature and creation.

However I have long believed that our perception of reality is very limited. It is filtered and biased and the mind fills in the blanks. A classic example is that everyone's field of vision has a blind spot in the middle. You don't see a black circle in your vision but it is there. Your brain fills in the blank based on all the data the visual cortex takes in. It does this very quickly and smoothly and has to constantly do it as you shift your gaze.

I have always believed from my own direct experience and the experience of others that altered states give us a window into deeper reality. Whether it be from natural means like meditation, or a great adventure that requires lots of physical activity like climbing a mountain, or psychedelic drugs, or even psychotic states. Quantum physics in a very scientific way is really causing us to question the nature of reality. There is so much we do not normally perceive.

I guess we should always be questioning our decisions and assumptions. They may be off base. Definitely if you are sitting on a jury you should be questioning your assumptions and pre conceived ideas.
