Reality is relative only when you are sick

I'm writing this blog to see if there are others who perceive the same reality as myself. Who doubt what others see as obvious and sometimes see as obvious what others doubt.
I'm here to learn

How I see how reality is perceived.

Senses. Our perception comes, obviously from our senses. Our "interface" with the world.
Our senses report to 2 bosses: Body and Mind. When the body is sick, senses are affected, as is the mind. An upset stomach will make most people irritable. Faced with the same reality as before, they will react differently. But when they reacted irritably, at that moment, did they do so knowingly that their upset stomach caused their reaction? Or did they believe, at that moment, that the reality was really irritable? In this example the lapse of a clear perception of reality was only momentary. But we can stretch this moment if we stress the system more. Lack of vitamin C can cause Scurvy, which can lead to dementia. Anger is genrally linked to high blood pressure, ulcers, stroke and more. This shows that body and mind are connected. So our perception of reality can be distorted by either body or mind sickness - and they are both inseparable.
Thoughts. Perception can come from thoughts. We sometimes also call them impressions, when thoughts are wordless, but meaningful - which testifies to their claim to reality. Our thoughts fill in the gaps left by our senses, to 'make sense' of reality. It adds meaning to data. The eyes see the plant, the nose smells it but the mind binds the two to a memory of grandma using this plant when her stomach was upset.
Feelings. Feelings certainly affect 'our' reality. When we are in love we are more tolerant, things that might bother us some other time may not seem 'meaningful' enough to worry about. Feelings of anger may cloud our judgement - The reality of incarceration and the loss of freedom to self and the pain inflicted on others is rarely pondered in moments of violence - regardless of the original intention. On the other hand repressed feelings also affect our perception of reality, as, in my experience, proven by the Grinberg method. Feelings are also affected by 'reality'. Any hate or fear raising propaganda will generate these feelings in the populace, willing or not. This means that our feelings may not be our own, but subject to direction from outside or to body/mind sicknesses.
Ego. - Yes, we perceive reality also through our egos. If we do not want to admit it to ourselves, we cannot deny that we all know someone else who fits this statement. Our ego can also cause us to perceive reality 'not as it is'.
The 'other' reality. - This is the one most remote to words. If you have found a way to still the train of thoughts and in that stillness experience extreme joy, tearful bliss - this is the other reality. Much written about, cannot be understood, only experienced. Prolonged trips to this reality will usually (but not always) change your view of reality profoundly.

Reality is not relative. The reason 2 people see the same reality differently lies with differences in their perceptions.

• We have the capacity to control all the parts which take part in our perception of reality: We can tune our body and senses, collect our thoughts, experience our feelings, recognize our ego and feel endless love.
• The health of ALL components: Senses (Body/Mind), Thoughts, Feelings, EGO and the 'other' reality are all needed for the clearest perception of reality.
• If sickness can diminish our perception of reality, robustness may enhance our perception of reality. In other words, allow us a deeper and wider understanding of ourselves and our world.
And lastly, in relation to these components, we are all 'sick' to varying degrees.
Our challenge as guests of the 21st century is twofold - evolve while healing.
