Perception is a Function of the Body: The Body being a Projection of Mind.

Perception of the physical world with the body's five senses is an illusion created by the mind.

Perception of the physical world is created in the mind. The human mind, which exists outside of time and space, is responsible for the projection of the human body, including the brain and the five physical senses.

It's easy for us to accept the existence of "optical illusions", hallucinations, drug induced misperceptions, dreams, and other forms of "unreality". But when it comes to the universally agreed upon definitions of what is "real", we have very little room or tolerance for any evidence that might disrupt our point of view.

This is understandable. To effectively function in a physical world with qualities of time and space, a certain degree of consistency is necessary. The problem is, we have forgotten that it is an illusion. Believing it is real, we have lost sight of the truth about who and what we really are.

Have you ever been amazed by a magic trick and wondered how it was done? Or observed an optical illusion and were delighted at your ability to see things differently just by changing your focus? This is the true and natural ability of the soul or spirit: to observe the tricks and illusions of the mind, but not to be deceived by them.

Of course, suspending our natural ability to see the truth allows us to experience and enjoy the illusions created by the mind. For example, what fun would it be to go to a movie if you could not lose yourself in the story, believe the characters and events are real, and feel the emotions this creates in your mind? And again, a magic show, if you know how it's done, loses its ability to charm and amaze you.

This is the true purpose of perception; to create an illusion that you can, for a time, believe is real. The soul, or spirit, is never deceived and is always safe.

If you are reading this article then you are probably ready and willing to know how this illusion is created. Many people love to tour the movie production studios to see how the special effects are made. Or they might study magic, so they can perform some of the simpler tricks themselves. The desire to understand the truth about perception of the physical world is the same. You want more understanding and participation in your own life experience. And you can have it, when you understand how the mind and body really work.

A Course In Miracles: What It Says
This introduction is how A Course in Miracles begins. It makes a fundamental distinction between the real and the unreal; between knowledge and perception. Knowledge is truth, under one law, the law of love or God. Truth is unalterable, eternal, and unambiguous. It can be unrecognized, but it cannot be changed. It applies to everything that God created, and only what He created is real. It is beyond learning because it is beyond time and process. It has no opposite; no beginning and no end. It merely is.
