The poet William Blake wrote:
"If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
Such cleansing would not be desirable. Without the protection of the doors of perception-that is, without the self-controlled; chaotic activity of the cortex, from which perceptions spring-people and animals would be overwhelmed by eternity.
Take your hands and hold them up in front of you, separated by a few inches. You see your hands, of course, and it isn't hard to imagine that perceiving them is a matter of certain patterns of light followed by similar patterns of neural firings. Of source We would not see what is behind the hand
And this is how we perceive this universe!! And here lies the truth of our limited perception of the universe.
Isab. O gracious duke!
Harp not on that; nor do not banish reason
For inequality; but let your reason serve
To make the truth appear where it seems hid,
And hide the false seems true.
Measure for Measure, Act V, Scene I,
In order to know what is Truth one must have Fortitude and Patience in order to obtain the Wisdom needed for decisions.
Justice and Humility is later needed in order to see the truth from ones Wisdom.
With Kepler’s own words:
with this symphony of voices man can play through the eternity of time in less than an hour, and can taste in a small measure the delight of god, the supreme artist…………
