How We Experience Life: Perception

Teacher: Robert Hodge

How We Experience Life - Perception.pdf


Perception is one of the five ways in which we experience life.  Perception is defined as the state of being or process of becoming aware of something through the senses, and/or a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something; a mental impression.  In this session, we will explore how perception contributes to our suffering and how we can deal with it.

The actor, Tom Selleck, starred in a series of movies as Jesse Stone, a policeman in a small Massachusetts town. When he had trouble solving a crime, he would recall the saying, “When you don’t like the answers you are getting, check your premises.” Regarding suffering, the saying would be, “When you don’t like the emotions you are getting, check your perceptions.”
