“We do not perceive what is "out there," rather we perceive what is "in here." Our senses can only inform us of their own status. They can inform us of the electrical status of neurons or the physical or the chemical status of the receptors. The outside world is never taken into our consciousness. The outside world is rather our own creation, psychologically synthesized from the mass of sensations that envelope us. In many respects, the ultimate question that perception must ask was stated by John Stuart Mill in 1865. He asked, "What is it we mean, or what is it which leads us to say, that the objects we perceive are external to us, and not a part of our own thoughts?" That remains, perhaps, the ultimate, unresolved perceptual puzzle.”
Stanley Coren

Stanley Coren, Sensation and Perception“I'm one of my sensations.”
Alberto Caeiro, The Collected Poems of Alberto Caeiro“Typically, awareness is only directed to the pronounced sensations of the body—the pleasurable and the painful. In yoga, over and over again, we witness the sensations of the body—the pleasant and unpleasant; the subtle and the overwhelming—neither seeking nor avoiding, and regarding all equally and without prejudice. It is through this nonjudgmental observation of sensation that the wisdom of the body is received, true healing is achieved, and the door to the unconscious mind is cast open.”
Darren Main, The River of Wisdom: Reflections on Yoga, Meditation, and Mindful Living“Death is nothing to us, because a body that has been dispersed into elements experiences no sensations, and the absence of sensation is nothing to us.”
Epicurus, Principal Doctrines“Just like science, there must be other kinds of sensations which haven't yet been feltby the human heart at all.”
Toba Beta, My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut“There is no greater sensation of consciousness than to expend yourself completely through the quickening fires of passion.”
Bryant McGill, Simple Reminders: Inspiration for Living Your Best Life“The only gain of civilisation for mankind is the greater capacity for variety of sensations - and absolutely nothing more.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead“When we pay attention to sensations in our bodies, we can feel that love is the energetic opposite of fear.”
Sharon Salzberg, Real Love: The Art of Mindful Connection“Yoga practice can make us more and more sensitive to subtler and subtler sensations in the body. Paying attention to and staying with finer and finer sensations within the body is one of the surest ways to steady the wandering mind. (39)”
Ravi Ravindra, The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras: A New Translation and Guide by Ravi Ravindra“the sensations she was asking about were very pleasant; some of them were nothing short of delicious; but to know them one simply had to go barefoot. I could sense a mixture of envy and fearful reserve. It was time to tell her what another barefoot hiker had once told me, when I had stood, still shod, on the edge of wanting to go barefoot: "Take off your shoes.”
