The
myth of ‘objective existence’. The oppressive idea that what is really
real is behind, and separate from, what we perceive, visible only to
specialists. In this way we are kept docile. We no longer take our
perceptions seriously.
‘If we believe that perceptions ARE
existence, that esse est percipi, as Berkeley put it, then we will be
far more likely to experience dreams and visions, and recognise them as
such’ (James Audlin, The Circle of Life)
