What influences perception?
Oftentimes, I perceive the external world through a
culmination of different lenses simutaneously.
I may see the physical, but I also see the menral/
emotional, spiritual, cultural/socieral/environmental
influences.
I may sense energy fields, see auras, feel past trauma,
inhibitions, mental blocks, external influences, etc. I
may even touch on my own traces of conditioning/hang
ups yet resolved.
Oftentimes, I will disassemble something all the way
to the very star dust they are. Mere energy
transitions & transactions. I'll fade in & out of
something similar to Carl Sagan's Blue Dot.
Most of the time we get caught up in our Earthy
vessels, & forget what & who we truly are behund
the facades & illusions.

I think the truth is fluid. It can be anything. People and objects are fluid and subject to change. The key is to effect perception and make it uniform. So that you are actually effecting other people's perceptions as well and not just in your own mind. I find you can control how other;s see you.. Like a masterful illusion being cast or projected.
Thats what everything is to me.. Ether, or star dust as you say. Its like everything can be anything. Everything is interconnected. There was a saint who said beauty can be found hidden within everything waiting for the eyes to discover it. What a beautiful piece of knowledge.
There is saying... Are you the dreamer or the dreamed? I like to think I am both. Being dreamed by the Gods, and yet dreaming my own creation.
