Our senses are a blessing and a curse. Believe me, I’m thankful that I have eyes to see with, ears to hear with, and a mouth to speak with, but I’m well aware of just how limited they are.
Think about it, do we experience the ‘real’ world with out current senses? Do we see the atoms? Do we see the electrons and neutrons? Do we hear the radio waves/signals all around us? Do we hear sonar when we go swimming at the beach? Our senses can be compared to a crack in a door. We see through the crack, but we don’t realize just how small that crack is. And, most people even take the crack for the picture in it’s entirety.
Which is wrong, because with such limited senses, the only thing we do have, is the realization that they are in fact limited. The one thing we do have is the realization of just how small we must be [compared to the universe as a whole] to be able to see through that small microscopic crack.
We have to realize we’re not so big.
