The Perceptually Controlled Illusion

(Gavin Ritz 2010.08.19.16.02NZT)

The very foundations of PCT
show that we all live in an illusion.

[From Fred Nickols (2010.08.19.065 EDT)]

What makes you say that? That you and I and everyone else
experiences our shared world by way of our individual perceptions doesn’t
equate to an illusion. An illusion is a perception of something that isn’t
there. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_color_illusion.
Now that’s an illusion!

Illusion: Oxford Dictionary: the fact or
condition of being deceived by false appearances.

What
makes you say that?

Do you agree with the foundations of PCT?

That all incoming energy “forms and
processes” are TRANSDUCED know in PCT as perceptual signals.

If you do then we all share in a grand
illusion.

That
you and I and everyone else experiences our shared world by way of our
individual perceptions doesn’t equate to an illusion.

It sure does, equate to the grandest
illusion of all.

It gets worse Fred our entire scientific thought
is based on the abstractions of this TRANSDUCED signal only. That is the “matter”
we sense with this transduced signal.

And actually the entire universe is made
up of 90% of something else.

An
illusion is a perception of something that isn’t there.

(that’s not my meaning of an
illusion, see above).

How do we know what we see (transduced
signal) is actually what is really there. Answer: you don’t it’s
only a TRANSDUCED signal.

PCT contains the seeds of a total rethink
of scientific thought. This I believe is its most exciting aspect.

Take
a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_color_illusion.
Now that’s an illusion!

Well isn’t that a great example, the
TRANSDUCED signal is easily tricked.

Sorry Fred I made a mistake we are
actually only capable of transducing 5% of the stuff of the universe, only 5%
of the universe is made up of matter.

And we have built an entire science of abstractions
out of this tiny little piece of transduced signals (perceptual signals).

I wonder what the other 95% really is. Suddenly
maybe guys like Viktor Schauberger and Rudolf Steiner are not so nutty after all.

I might have to eat my scientific hat any
day soon. PCT has surely taken me to the precipice.

I’m beginning to feel what I know is
like the emperor’s new clothes or the great and powerful wizard in the wizard
oz.
