The problem with our experience s.........

 

We cannot see the pressure we feel the pressure, like the way we don't have the access to the nature of reality, we can gauge it through our senses. It is like sitting in the cockpit of a plane where you feel the parameters through the different gauges, not experiencing the real reality. The problem here is the gauges (senses) we have are meant for mere survival not for experiencing the reality. This is like seeing through a filter of glass, it alters the view, but the situation here is you cannot remove that filter glass, if you remove it you will become blind. The result is you always experience the altered reality. This is the major obstacle in experiencing the nature of reality. Then the question arises how we can access that nature of reality? It is a big open question in Philoaophy. The analytical philosophy deals with these types of questions.

Very deep analysis to understand the link between phenomenalogy and epistemology.

After reading this, I felt the senses have two fundamental functions.
1. Survival function
2. Interaction.

The perception of senses is excellent in survival function but not so in interaction with the world i. e. Perception of reality.

Senses are inherently limited in this perception of reality.

The cockpit allows you to technically guage the surroundings which gives us apt analysis. Similarly we have completely different guage in the lives around us...media, environment gives you a completely deceiving view of reality. When we see around we are constantly threatened by Materialistic, false ego, possessiveness world...complete mismatch to the reality of lives.. Life is simple. Greed is evil. Human lives need to introspect quite often towards which way they are proceeding whether it leads to truly beneficial values or the altered carbon copy of the materialistic/deceiving world (like a web all around, trapping you everyday in it and you make an unending effort to get out of it.)

There is no truth.
There is only perception
