Many years ago the thought occurred to me that epigrams and maxims are the star shells of communication. They briefly illuminate situations, ideas and the context of the intellectual land and seascapes that may suddenly provide us with a perspective leading to some understanding of the world in which we seek survival.

The first one I recall writing was in the margin of a college text book more than sixty years ago. It is: 'All generalities are wrong - including this one'. Over the years I continued to observe items in the interpretations presented here.

Recorded sometimes as a possible guide, sometimes as a snarl of frustration, sometimes with the shock of humor and always with the understanding that my interpretation of the world is that of an individual.

Included are some labeled examples of optical illusions to demonstrate the varying interpretations that may occur between perception and reality. They are not related to the statements they face but stand independently as items which present the possibility of mental perception fluctuating as it evaluates views of one picture.

The Animal Facts in Volume Two are examples of animal structures and capabilites.

It is my hope that the reader will find some enjoyment and perhaps benefit to some slight extent from this glimpse of my perceptions of parts of existence and the world.

Volume One presents any entirely new set of epigrams, optical illusions and a component of country seals rather than animal facts. To purchase Perception May Be Reality - Volume One, or to view sample excerpts, Click Here!

Also there are items which present insignia that may be of interest since they represent the self perception of many countries as depicted by their seals.

Volume Three of Perception May Be Reality was written with the realization that actions of individuals and countries of the world continue to present reasons for consideration of facts and events. Each of us regard and are affected by them in the context of our own existance, as the author's epigrams in this book may describe.

In addition to further epigrams, this volume includes more optical illusions as examples of shifting perceptions. It also includes modern artifacts, for the following reason: artifacts that provide assistance in current living such as libraries, hospitals, buildings, bridges, ships, harbors, aircraft, airports, highways, railroads and universities can be just as commemerative of the spirit of achievement as any monuments exalting the events of the past.

These observations were not written to have you accept or reject the author's perceptions, but to have you examine your own.
