[MD] NYC

[118]

Marsha,

Are you saying that our concepts are not part of direct perception?  What exactly happens to separate us from direct perception?  Are we magicians?  I am not sure you have thought this through.

If you can provide a method by which we abstract ourselves from direct perception, I would appreciate it.

Far more than the people who live and/or work in NYC know. We can be experts. But, when we board an airplane and fly to NYC, there is a great difference when we experience NYC with our eyes, our ears and other senses. Then we understand so much more, don't we? Because we have the direct experience of our senses and not just the mental image of NYC, even though the latter is correct.  Direct perception is to see things as they are, without changing them through our concepts.
