Perception
German: Wahrnehmung
Common meaning:
The receiving of sensory input; what one sees, senses, or becomes aware of
Clear meaning:
The movement through which the field meets itself in form—not seeing, but the opening to what is already present.
Perception literally means:
“to take in the real”—
but structurally, it is not grasping,
it is allowing—
a moment
in which the self no longer filters,
so that something may appear.
Perception is not the possession of impressions—
it is resonant openness,
through which form becomes felt
without being held.
Perception is not what you see—
it is what
is allowed to become visible through you.
