Premature cognitive commitment-inner sense, Vision/Eyes

Listening to Deepak Chopra explaining an experiment done with cats, one set was brought up in an environment with vertical stripes and the other set with an environment of horizontal strips. In adulthood removed from that environment they could only perceive the world in either a horizontal or vertical manner. He goes into a lot more detail and comes up with the phrase premature-early, cognitive- brain shapes and programming the nervous system sense, commitment- on going and locked into a fixed reality.

This portion of the audio deals with the senses, sensory experiences, ‘the real’ and the observer. He goes on to describe how the senses decode ‘something’ that is much vaster quite abstract and quite ineffitatible.

Another amazing statement he made was that of the people in the room, unless some were quite extraordinary they would be taking in less than one billionth of the stimuli in the room.

But the key point for me was when he said “if you don’t have the concept, if you don’t have the notion it doesn’t exist for you’. This takes me deeper into the TSM phrase that the senses are lovely liars On a different scale, regarding beliefs and what is possible I am inclined towards ‘intellectual travel broadens one options.’
