This site is dedicated to the benefits of understanding and optimally using BOTH of the ways that we appreciate reality.

Most use the view that relies on the concepts of language and the use of memory: That’s a chair, The Phillies are the best, I loved grandma. Though there are upsides to this view, bridges get built and friendships develop, there are hidden dowsides to the exclusive use of this view, notably greed, resentment and war.

Our other view of reality is the more fundamental. It relies on experiential information that comes through our sensory-perceptual systems; concepts, language and memory play no part in it. Perceptual intelligence maintains our open-mindedness and the pathway for insights to arise.

How can we know and do anything without language? It happens all the time. No one “thinks” about hitting a baseball, falling in love, and pulling covers over ourselves at night when we’re too cold.
