As we explore these percepts, which are the simple events or thoughts all around us perceived through our senses, we are going to develop the concepts of a better life.

"without conceptualizing, ordinary people are powerless in life and helpless in their endeavors, forever stuck in percepts - in the routine ruts which control them." What am I saying? Well... We open our eyes every day to the world around us. If we smell the stench of garbage; we touch our feet to a dirt floor; we hear the sounds of police sirens over and over; we know, without a shadow of a doubt, that we do not live in the best of neighborhoods. Do we ask ourselves "How do we get out of here and better ourselves?". This is "conceptualized senses."

Do we open our eyes to a nice bedroom? Feel the comfortable sheets under which we slept? Is there a sense of balance to our lives? We can then smile to ourselves and know we have done alright. But...Do we ask ourselves "What's next for us around the corner?" Once again, our conceptualized senses!

If we opened our eyes and saw the housekeeper opening the bedroom curtains; preparing our breakfast in bed; Well... WOW!! That is only a dream for us at this time..but believe me, I, personally, am asking myself "when will I get there and what will I do when I arrive?" Yep, you guessed it, our conceptualized senses.

Come with us! As we look into each of our senses and "conceptualize" ideas for possibly a better future. We do not compare our lives to others because we do not know what your journey through life is all about. Hopefully, we will meet each of you on the other side.
