What would you call this?!
What would you call that feeling, when once in an
extremely dense, busy city you start to feel desolate,
then when you come home to the country it can feel
like the universe doesn’t even exist, like there’s nothing
more than a void around you?! It might not make sense unless you realy think deeply
about this...your perception of reality exists within an
extremely thin “slice” of perception (reality?). It’s like
a measuring machine, or a thermometer, and all of a
sudden, within a moment, you can become acustomed
to a world that no one exists in, except yourself. If you
start to feel isolated and/or desolate in the middle of
Hong Kong (for example) , then it doesn’t necessarily
mean that something’s wrong with you. It simply means
that you become more (less?) sensitive, or that you enter into
a smaller or larger range of perception, just like a measuring
device has a specific range of measurement, but in out case
it’s not measurement, it’s perception. My mind might like to think back to the thermometer, or the
thermal camera; these are, in a sense, creative things or ideas,
because, for example, the thermal camera, helps
us see what’s invisible, yet it’s range is limited. It could see
in a differing dynamic range, or be able to pick up thermal
wavelengths using various sensitivies, and I hope that
we will one day discover this idea and not just relate it to
reality, but also make it a reality! I feel as though my thoughts, or at least my neural
connections, have organized into a specific way, but as of
now I can’t explain or describe what this means.
