When color-blind people look at color-full scenes
they have different experiences depending upon what kind
of color blindness they have. Red-Green Color-Blind
people have difficulty distinguishing certain shades of
red from certain shades of green. Blue-Yellow Color-
Blind people have difficulty distinguishing certain shades
of yellow from certain shades of blue.
To understand Color-Blind peoples' varieties of
experiences it is essential to acknowledge that there is a
full range of spectral colors associated with a full range
of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in the visible
range of human vision. Dichotomous thinking cannot help
us to understand the differences between Color-Blind
people (R-G vs B-Y), and between each kind of Color-Blind
person and "Normal" visioned people. Understanding comes
from dealing with the continuous spectrum of visible
wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation which human eyes
respond to.
Color-Blind people's eyes differ according to how
sensitive they are to various wavelengths of light, and
how their eye-brain combination interprets the various
wavelengths of light.
Artificial differences in perception of colors can
be induced by wearing different kinds of colored sun-
glasses or other color-filter glasses.
People who are wearing dark red filtered glasses
will see green object as a shade of brown. Likewise,
people who are wearing dark green glasses will see red
objects as a shade of brown. Each will see objects which
are skewed towards the color of their own glasses
"normally", and see the other complementary person's
glasses as a shade of brown.
Similarly people with differing religious
assumptions, beliefs, convictions and thought patterns see
the world differently---depending upon what they focus
their attention upon, and what they virtually never focus
their attention upon. Differences in selective foci of
religious attention result in differences in religious
experience, perceptions, visions and expectations of self
and others.
Some people perceive "evil" in terms of obedience &
disobedience; discipline & lack of discipline; conformity
& rebellion.
Other people perceive "evil" in terms of alienation
& reconciliation; exclusivity & inclusivity; rejection &
acceptance; individualism & community.
People who perceive "evil" in the first way may be
unable to perceive "evil" in the second way; and vice-
versa. Each kind of person may be unable to conceive of
the possibility of seeing in the complementary way.
The first way of religious perception responds most
readily to considerations of Law rather than of Love.
The second way of religious perception responds most
readily to considerations of Love rather than of Law.
Relatively few people seem to be able to respond in
balanced ways to considerations of Law and to
considerations of Love. Most people tend to specialize in
exclusive ways in their perceptions, visions and
expectations.
