I'm not sure if what we see is a construction of the brain, but I do believe that what we do not see is definitely something which our brain should take responsibility for. When two people look at a cup, in all probability, they will both agree that what is there is a cup. However, when one person believes in something that does not fit in within the framework of another's personal reality, then perhaps that person has chosen to "see" what their mind believes to be an absolute. In this same vein, I am still unresolved on whether the I-function really does dictate perception-didnt we say a few classes back that the I-function can participate in an activity without being directly influential? I like Sophie's thought that the I-function can act as a filter (i hope this is what she was getting at!)...we do not need it to see but it perhaps plays a part in the type of reality that each individual develops over time. This is a very confusing thought indeed...
