Thank you so much for your reply!

As such, perception is an objectifying process. It would follow that if our perceptual apparatus were different, or if it were capable of processing more than 3D of space and 1D of time, the world might look very "different."

Indeed, I often wonder how we could even know if what we are seeing is only a skewed partial view of the true dimensionality of "all that there is."

Likewise, we sense motion only on a very specific level. Is it that we are not able to sense the cosmic movement of which we are a part - or are we born with the sense and then subdue it?

The inverse is true as well. Are we unable to sense the motion within our members - or are we born with the sense and then subdue it? How would we know?

I believe the "cosmic movement" is essentially free fall. We wouldn't be able to sense that -- except as the local absence of motion. If I'm wrong in this, I'm sure our resident experts will be pleased to leap all over me with corrections.
