now that i have been a born again christian for 10 years, i see things that just boggles my mind.
like this: we all spent untold hours in the field service telling people (mostly christians) about the paradise earth.
that was the reason we were at their door.
The Rebel:
The heart has no emotional feelings like love, it's simply a muscle for pumping blood. Using it in a figure of speech is fine but not for realistic thinking. Like "His heart is in the right place" as a figure of speech is fine, but realistically where else would it be? In his elbow? Good powers of perception have no place for basing decisions on feelings, it's the very reason people in high risk and dangerous professions are taught to control their instincts - instincts all too often influence poor decision making and cost lives.
Evaluation should be pragmatic, not emotional. Compassion is an emotion which motivates us to make us evaluate events which bother our conscience, but evaluting the events themselves should not incorporate emotions, they will only serve to cloud the facts and lead to irrational decisions.

The Rebel:
People with good powers of perception don't focus one one aspect of their observations. They don't take things at face value and base their conclusions on a vast array of information and try to form conclusions based purely on what they consider to be facts. A well trained soldier for example is taught to quickly observe his surroundings, evalute them and how his current situation relates to them, try to decide firstly what he does know for certain and then calculate all the plausible possibilities. Once he feels he has made an accurate evaluation as possible, he will plan his next move. It is not possible to be a great tactician without being skilled at perception. Fortunately people are able to be trained to be better at perception but it demands a lot of self-discipline.
Luminosity has a great app for training your brain, and getting yourself into good habits like forcing yourself to learn and ask questions, playing games of observation while just walking down the street or sitting in a restaurant, drawing conclusions then comparing them with the conclusions of others and learning how they arrived at theirs all teach you how to be perceptive.
So next time when the TV is on consider immersing yourself in a game of perception because it is a skill and a life tool you have to keep practicing. I know I need a lot of practice.

Perry:
And making decisions based strictly on feelings is unwise. As humans, limited in perception, we can EXPECT to be deceived, especially in our feelings.
