awareness

i think that's a good way to think about it - realizing that your own perspective is limited. we know that there is something communicable about reality, since we can all interact with it and even define the parts of which we are aware; but we must keep in mind that we are not seeing reality as it really exists, we are just interpreting it in the only ways we can.

think of all the other properties of matter that we know exist, yet cannot perceive with our eyes... snakes see the world in thermal vision, for example.

we really can't have a clue how much we're missing!
