I've mentioned Perspective several times recently. There are many levels on which this is an important feature... tool... defensive shield... and sundry. It has everything to do with how safe you are while passing through this life. Perspective is like a leather-maker tool or one of those jumbo Swiss Army knives. One of the blades... or pull-out attachments is Discernment, and that is a very important quality to have in operation at all times.

In Eastern Teachings they have this saying that The Wise employ; neti... neti... which translates generally into neither this nor that or... if you prefer, not this... not that. You can think of it as a mantra... or a constant act of negation... having to do with The World of The Senses; everything you perceive as being outside of you. Something comparable would be; nothing is real.

Discernment has a lot to do with one's ability to make quality judgments about what is and is not real. I think of Discernment as the capacity to see what causes AND composes something that is in front of you, rather than... simply... just being there... as an object... in front of you. It is how the mesmeric magic of The World is able to seduce The Hive Mind... how eternal truths can hide in plain sight because they are masquerading in temporary forms. That's how it is... 24/7... when a person does not have Discernment in an active state.
