Good morning :))
I feel that no one can answer your question better than Napoleon:
“The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains.”
― Napoleon Bonapart
As for trauma, altered senses, new physics theories etc- if they alter your ability to love, then yes, they contribute :)

Throughout history, human beings believed that the limits of perception were fixed — that our senses defined our reality.
But modern neuroscience, quantum theory, and even literature suggest the opposite:
every shift in consciousness expands what we can perceive… and therefore changes the “structure” of reality itself.
So my question is:
Do you believe that human perception is biologically limited?
Or can awareness, solitude, trauma, creativity, or spiritual experiences expand the borders of what we are capable of perceiving?
I’d love to hear your thoughts — scientific, philosophical, or purely intuitive.
