And then to it all is to be added the question how good is the instrument and how well is it performing? Between the receptor instrument the ear and the eye and the brain that is going to interpret the information, there is a vast space where the subconscious with its habits, the desire mind with its obvious agenda, the reasoning mind with its limiting logic, the physical body's small mind focussed on its comfort, the emotional mind with all its turbulence...... all these have outposts; and try (and normally always succeed) to way-lay the information for their own advantage by adding or deleting much from it. I would say that Zen or The yoga of Psychological perfection, is the way by which we reduce these outposts to nothing and then see the Reality in all its purity.
