Quote by John J. Emerick
Humans have the ability to shift perspective. We can experience the world through our senses. Or we can remove ourselves from our senses and experience the world even less directly. We can think about our life, rather than thinking in our life. We can think about what we think about our life, and we can think about what we think about that. We can shift perceptual positions many times over.
Summary
This quote highlights the unique cognitive ability of humans to shift their perspective. It suggests that we can experience the world in two ways: directly through our senses, or indirectly by detaching ourselves from sensory inputs. By doing so, we can introspectively reflect on our lives, thoughts, and perceptions. This quote implies that we possess the capacity to think not only about our own experiences but also to analyze and contemplate our thoughts about those experiences. Ultimately, it emphasizes the inherent flexibility and complexity of human perception and introspection.
