Blurry Creatures
Limited Perception and the Allegory of the Cave
Perception is limited by the shadows we perceive, as illustrated in Plato's Allegory of the Cave. The individuals in the cave can only see shadows on the wall and base their understanding of the world on these limited perceptions. This limitation in perception is akin to having perceptual impairment or cataracts, preventing them from perceiving the totality of the created order. The discourse contrasts the interdimensional hypothesis, suggesting a parallel universe, with the theory that there are facets of our universe we cannot perceive but still inhabit. The narrative emphasizes that our restricted perception stems from our predicament, attributed to sin, leading to a constrained understanding of the universe we reside in.
