" The objective world around us extends far beyond what we can sense and perceive. Only a sliver of information is received and understood, and not passively so; in fact, we do so rather actively. That sliver of information is transformed and filtered through non- conscious processes that actively select what we end up perceiving consciously. We are always more than we are aware of and there is always more happening than we can be conscious of. "
