Foundation of all Axioms the Axioms of Consciousness

[Angrboda]

Do we see reality as it is, or do we see reality as we need it to be?





When we look at a naked man or woman (depending), we become aroused.  We see patches of light or dark, and a certain arrangement of patches signals the brain that a fuckable object is in view.  We even mistake ordinary objects for fuckable objects if they display the same pattern of light and dark.  We see an image that is loaded with sexual significance.  This is more than seeing reality, we're constructing the meaning of those patterns of light and dark in our brain.  We don't necessarily see the patterns of light and dark as what they are, but as we reconstruct them to be.  In the case of the image below, there is the tendency to see the subject as a woman from the perspective of between her legs.  Before we notice the illusion, we may even become aroused by it.  So are we aroused by a representation of reality, or by what our brain constructs the reality to be based on our perceptual signals?  If we concentrate on the image, we may even see it 'flip' like those illusions of the lamp that is also two faces.  One moment it's a lamp, the next moment it's the legs and crotch of a woman.  It literally is reconstructed differently, depending on which side of the flip we are currently seeing.
