An Artist's Notes on Humans and the Universe: The World's Fundamental Laws of Nature: Flux, Limitations, and the Inborn Mechanism of Human Perceptions

By V Nova

Is distance real? Is the speed of light the ultimate speed of our own human perception of physical sight, not of the world? Why is it a living mind does not need artificial energy, and cannot be unplugged? Histories of philosophy and the sciences sometimes mention perceptions without showing any curiosity towards why we all must perceive in the first place. They merely explain our vision by describing physical organs of our bodies, such as eyes or brains, which cannot see or think on their own. We do not need any technology to find out how we sense and perceive what we believe reality may be. We can follow our mind's deeply instinctive "artist routine" of perceiving within ourselves. Whether you think, memorize, imagine, observe, dream or feel anything, this primordial routine is present and revealing itself in every moment of our existence. This is nature's mechanism of perception. Surprisingly it is similar to the instinctive routine we follow in the classical art process of painting: comparison, selection, focus, and composition. Without this process of perception, we cannot sense anything at all and cannot exist as our sovereign selves.

The book revisits our most basic assumptions about the world, enabling us to break out of the rut of our thinking and finally see beyond a lifetime of conditioning. It is a very innovative work which picks up where Henri Bergson left off and which ultimately allows us to see the world in a whole truly new way. Such an ability is critically important since the better that scientists, philosophers, and others are able to see the biases that they unconsciously employ in experiencing the world, the more productive they can become in making genuinely new contributions to their fields. The author has an uncanny ability, unprecedented in my experience, to recall her first impressions of the world and lay them down on paper, unfiltered by decades of indoctrination. The book is bursting with so much intrinsic value that I am confident that word of it will ultimately spread. It is charming, profoundly intuitive, and extraordinarily important. Nova's work is "must" reading for anyone seriously interested in understanding the world and universe in which we live. s
