Unitary Perception
Rubén Feldman González
Mankind rediscovers Unitary Perception, in the 20-th Century, thanks to Jiddu Krishnamurti and the dialogues held by Dr Ruben Feldman Gonzalez with him and with Prof. David Bohm for more than 10 years, since March 1975.
What has been recovered, for those who study this subject seriously, is a brain function, which has been without use for almost 800 thousand years.
This function is the complete awakening, the complete incarnation in one’s own body, which happens as a second awakening, after sleep ends.
This complete awakening, this complete conscious incarnation in one’s own body is Unitary Perception.
At first Krishnamurti called it "meditation". In the decade of dialogues Dr Gonzalez had with Bohm and Krishnamurti, they called it "Unitary Perception” instead, because it is a better name, from the epistemologic point of view.
In intense Observation, both the Observer and the Observed become irrelevant.
That intense Observation is the most important conscious activity.
Unitary Perception is defined as “Being aware of everything perceptible, at the same time, right now, without naming that which is perceived, without comparing and without effort”.
In this definition of Unitary Perception we have, at least four elements:
1) Being aware implies the FACT of being conscious of something.
Even the contents of the unconscious go through consciousness.
But only in Unitary Perception we become conscious of the contents of the unconscious, because it provides the necessary peace without duality and without choice. That is the peace which allows us to perceive things in the mind such as they are, without the intention to change them.
2) Everything perceptible means we are not aware of something (only), but of everything that crosses our field of perception. For example: we not only hear the bird chirps, if we walk through a forest, but all the sounds that reach our hearing (from the brain itself).
3) At the same time implies that if we want the brain to operate as a unit, expressing its maximum potential, it is necessary to perceive everything perceptible at the same time.
No effort is needed. It is a way of life.
Gravity (weight), sound and the visual field can be perceived at the same time, in quietude and peace.
4) Right Now implies the only time in which Unitary Perception is possible.
The deep peace generated immediately by Unitary Perception, is the necessary psychological mutation.
Then we have a way of living, seeing and listening which we don’t know.
The words with which we interpret the FACT of seeing and listening at the same time STOP the listening and seeing in this new way: at the same time.
In Unitary Perception we don’t “unify”, but simply become aware that “everything is united”.
