new studies reveal that consciousness plays a more vital role in physical perception than once thought.whenever the senses perceive anything, a sight, sound, or feeling, what eventually becomes relayed to our mind is our own internal image. for example, say you look out the window at a tree. light reflected from the tree enters the mind, translated into impulses that are relayed to the brain. our brain then tells us that we are looking at a tree. what you see is what your brain makes of these impulses.then what exactly is it that you’re seeing? current theories suggest that what you see is a thought. the image of a tree is actually a thought, comprised of yet undiscovered composure.thus everything a person looks at reflects memories, attitude, values, and beliefs. though we can absorb light reflected from matter, what we “see” is not entirely what is “there.”i’m not saying that the tree you’re looking at is actually a warped image of a ’92 chevy because you used to own one before you crashed it into a similar looking tree. what this means is that a more optimistic person might see the tree in a more vibrant color than a pessimist, though the tree in reality is only one specific shade and tint. for example, you and someone else are watching a movie. both of you see the same pictures and hear the same sounds, but do both of you react the same way to scenes of suspense or sorrowful departures? people have different perceptions of what they see based upon individual ideals, memories, dreams, thoughts, etc.the effects of human conscience don’t stop with raw perception; in fact, everything you do is also affected by the way you take-in everything. for example, say you and a friend are jumping gaps on a skateboard, bike, by foot, whatever. after finding a gap you look at it and decide its nothing. your veins fill with adrenaline and you jump the gap with no problem. your friend, a little more skeptical at the size of the gap, with less adrenaline and a nervous sweat, gets a bad start and fails to jump the gap. the difference is how each of you perceived the gap.continuing research in this on-going topic continues to reveal a deeper and deeper connection between our conscience and how we absorb a physical environment. maybe it’s not the special shoes you wear that let you jump a little higher, but the notion in your mind that you should be able to jump higher while wearing them.

peter russell studied mathematics and theoretical physics at the university of cambridge (uk), supervised for a while by stephen hawking. then, as he became increasingly fascinated by the nature of consciousness, he changed to experimental psychology. he won several scholarships for his work at cambridge and graduated with a first class honors degree. he then went india, where he studied meditation and eastern philosophy, and on his return took up research into the psychophysiology of meditation at the university of bristol. he also has a post-graduate degree from cambridge in computer science, and conducted some of the early work on 3-d displays and what is now known as "virtual reality". peter russell was one of the first people to introduce human potential seminars into the corporate field, and for twenty years ran programs for senior management on creativity, learning methods, stress management, personal development, and sustainability. clients have included ibm, apple, digital, american express, barclays bank, swedish telecom, ici, shell oil and british petroleum. his principal interest is the inner challenges presented by the times we are passing through. he has written several books in this area, including meditation, the brian book, the global brain awakens the creative manager, and waking up in time. peter's latest book, from science to god: a physicist's journey into the mystery of consciousness, explores how a deeper understanding of the nature of consciousness leads to a new synthesis of scientific and spiritual worldviews.
