In all things our perception of reality evolves only from what we already percieve to be true or not.

So in a sense we understand reality through a series of pre- subscrided filters.

These filters are formed from all aspects and beliefs , teachings and so on.

This creates, because we also are aware of aspects innumerable about existence that we do not know, a bubble of knowledge that we measure and quantify all other knowledge against.

Therefore we exist in a subset of a larger whole.

If it is a given that we exist within this limited perception and all science , religion and beliefs are bound by this , then the variable must always be included that all we know may well be skewed and at the least tainted.

Much like a whole planet of blind people describing a tree, with not one sighted person giving them a clue.

Now if we factor in quantum entanglement and mind manipulating matter into this soup , we can see how extremely careful these toddler steps into creating our own reality must be.

For what we create , we are bound by until if an when we are privy to a much greater whole.
