Perception is projection (4)
Acceptance of the concepts of the map is not the territory and perception is projection significantly increase our abilities to use our sensory input channels maximally and cleanly, to communicate more effectively and to bring to bear a new and beneficial attitude of wanton curiosity which will lead us in the direction of all manner of new and fascinating discoveries.
By respecting the other person's model of the world or even willingly stepping outside of our own model and engaging momentarily with them in their model of the world, our potential for inter-personal communication increases exponentially.
Countless opportunities for learning and growth will present themselves to us if we can only suspend our own beliefs and attitudes for even a short while.
By resisting our natural in-built inclination to see the world as we are and instead to see it as it is or even to see the world as others see it we not only focus our sensory and mental apparatus more usefully and productively, we actually stand to benefit from innumerable opportunities to continually enrich our own impoverished model.
