Card Image

Do we see the elephant's head in the picture? The next question is where did the 'elephant head' form come from? What is clear from the picture, the object itself, is a rock with a certain shape. In this case, we attach the 'elephant head' shape to the object we are looking at. The form comes from us as subjects. We are the ones who actively perform 'superimposition' on the objects in front of us. This model applies to all subject recognition of objects. This 'overlapping' process is rarely noticed by us. We feel that we see a form on the object we observe, when in fact, we are the ones who are actively 'overlay' certain forms on the object.

The problem is, this 'overlap' is subjective. It could be that the same object is perceived by two (or more) people differently. It is because this 'overlap' depends on the individual experience of each subject. In our case, we have the concept of an 'elephant', from this concept we then 'superimpose' it on the object we see. Then what about those who do not have the concept of 'elephant'? Of course they will not be able to see the shape of the 'elephant' on the object.

However, those who can see the 'elephant shape' cannot force their gaze on those who cannot see the form. Vice versa. It should be realized that it is all an illusion. One illusion cannot cancel another illusion. Only those who are aware of how illusion works in this 'overlapping' process can take it to the next level of consciousness.
