Our acquired perception is shaped from the moment of conception up until this very moment and it will continue evolving and changing throughout our human experience.

The human condition of ignorance and societal skewed perception can make vague spiritual and self-development advice harmful because the advice lacks tangible, applicable information required for meaningful introspection and action.

When expanding our perception, one explanation of the process involves regarding our normal awareness as a baseline state of consciousness. From there, in many different ways we can shift into an altered state of consciousness. This is the disorienting stage where we are prone to indulging in labelling and reasoning our way to describe something quite unreasonable that is occurring within our perception of which we have little to no experience or authority to reduce to a word or phrase.
