Any time we take a state or a stage or a structure or a level of our own consciousness and assume that what’s given to it is real, we’re caught in the myth of the given. There is no question that a certain portion of our perceptions are valid reflections of underlying reality based on that underlying reality. On the other hand, there is also no question that there is a certain level of that perception which is based on a conception, i.e. what we have predetermined ourselves to be seeing when we see it. So, to some extent, what is real is real, but, to another extent, it is constructed.
