More from ‘The Spell of the Sensuous’

 “… all of the creativity and free ranging mobility that we have come to associate with the human intellect is in truth an elaboration of a profound creativity already under way at the most immediate level of sensory perception”. On the event of Perception

Perception can be regarded as the dynamic mix of creativity and receptivity where every animate organism orients itself within the world. Our experiences are continually shifting, where functions are never solely resolute. If the body was a closed mechanism, all experiences and its responses would be predetermined. This temporal aspect alters ones perspective where an entity or object can be continually discovered. Shifts in light for example can influence a deeper attunement and encourage further exploration.
