I wasn't attempting to patronize you.
So your assumption that I'm stressed and unfocused is not patronizing?
If you get offended by something like that, this will never work.
So your statement is not offensive? You still not answering the very first question I asked you, and many subsequent, will be the cause of this not working.
If we can agree to stick to the topic, and lay off the personal comments, I will gladly proceed.
Sensation is the beginning of perception and It ends with the creation of the mental image. Our experience is based on current perception but our belief is based on previous or recorded perception.
Can you maybe just clarify the first sentence again? What exactly ends with the forming of a mental image? Is it sensation or perception? We also clearly have different interpretations of experience here, I meant the noun, and you possibly mean the verb? When you say that our belief "is based on" previous perception, is that the only thing that creates/influences belief?
Careful here, what you mean is someone else's experience. Experience is determined by one's perception of reality.
You are right.
There may be an error in perception, or a deliberate fabrication about the experience as one attempts to control reality by altering the text or narration to suit his desire. This misleads the reader who is under the assumption that the information is true.
I follow that. Makes sense.
What you are looking for is overall consistency.
Who or what is the judge of that consistency? When is something consistent? I have a problem with this, and before I go off on a tangent, do I understand correctly that you equate truth with consistency?
See, you keep using reality in the wrong sense, which I never said.
I stand corrected. Please substitute "experience" for "reality" and answer the question.
Through an examination of cause and effect.
Please expand on this. How do you examine cause and effect to arrive at a truth or non-truth? Is it as simple as: If the cause is not true, then the effect won't be either?
Well I would think not if you substitute the wrong words for what I say. If you are really serious about this again, we both have a responsibility to each other. Are we on the same page?
Sure. I hope that that problem is out of the way, and we hopefully have a common understanding of the terms.
