Truly I think the key is that there is more to perception under Hume's model than sensory perception.

I so agree, dearest sister in Christ! Not all percepts arise from sense data.

Albert Einstein touches on this "mystery":

There had to be something behind objects that lay deeply hidden...the development of [our] world of thought is in a certain sense a flight away from the miraculous.

That percept did not arise in sense experience. Or so it seems to me.

Thank you ever so much for writing, dearest sister in Christ!

p.s.: Am still without my computer.... YIKES! :^(

I'm sorry to hear your computer is still "down." Jeepers!

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ, and thank you for that great Einstein quote as an example!
