Is Perception The Number One Aspect Of Life?

[JimmyAce777]

Hypothetical situation, a child is born and this child has a rare ailment that completely limits the five perceptions that people have. No vision, hearing, taste, smell, sense of touch, and this child is kept alive by life support.  Question 1.) Is the consciousness hiding anywhere? Is the consciousness just hanging out waiting for input from this being? 

My thinking is, this child would have nothingness in the mind and it would be as if it was never born.

This same ailment also happens to a 40 year old person, this person looses all 5 perceptions and is kept alive by life support, in this case the person has thoughts, this persons mind is not a blank canvas because this person has perceived.

Is perception the number one aspect of life, if we never perceived in life we would never really exist? Is perception and consciousness possibly the same thing?

Maybe I’m reaching here for something that is obvious, but I think this is a deep thing.

@JimmyAce777 My freind enquire into that deeply.

I am assuming that you were talking about everything we experience through the five doorways into this world. Right?

 which is of course

Sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This is perception.

We perceive a internal experience. Consisting Off

thoughts,internal sensations, emotions.

you know that sense of my personal world that only I perceive.

and then we perceive are apparent external reality Consisting of colours, sound, Shapes and so on. 

What sees that?

 you!

you won't find yourself.

only be it.

consciousness is prior to perception it's direct! you share the same place as whatever consciousness is

 

You are it.

Awareness will not cease to exist.

But the sensitivity over something, that also is a sort of consciousness, will cease to exist when perception ceases.

How? Because, sensitivity over something, always under this condition may let perception be.

The root to let sensitivity cease to exist is by calming ones motives.

Calmed motives means one is no longer craving. One could state that one then has purified his perception. Perception and Awareness are then 1.

 

Now with calmed motives, one is a child again.

Awareness and perception are the most essential elements of our existence. Consciousness in my opinion precedes perception.
