Theoretical exploration investigates the relationship between perception and consciousness, suggesting internal horizons of understanding.
Short Description (EN) A conceptual exploration of perception, consciousness, and the limits of human conception. The text proposes that consciousness receives far more information than the human perceptual system can conceive, suggesting that an unseen, fully present universe exists beyond our perceptual horizon. It examines the role of conception as a regulator and proposes the inner horizon as the true “beyond.” Abstract (EN) This work investigates the relationship between perception, consciousness, and conception. It argues that consciousness continuously receives and transmits information, but most of it remains inaccessible due to the limits of human conception. The text proposes that what appears as “empty space” may be fully inhabited and that the unseen universe is not beyond perception but beyond conception. It introduces the idea of an inner horizon and suggests that the dream state may prepare the mind for expanding conception. The work concludes that the true “beyond” is internal and accessible only through expanded vigilance. OpenAIRE Description (EN) This contribution presents a theoretical model in which consciousness receives all information, while perception and conception act as filters determining what becomes accessible to the human mind. It explores the possibility that the universe is already fully present but remains unseen due to conceptual limitations. The text introduces the notion of a conceptual “regulator” and examines the role of the dream state as a potential mechanism for expanding conception. It proposes that the true beyond is internal rather than external, situated within frequencies inaccessible to ordinary vigilance. This perspective is relevant to studies in consciousness, perception theory, liminality, and non‑physical cognition. Extended Description (EN) The text begins by questioning the assumption that perception defines reality. It argues that consciousness intercepts and transmits far more information than the human perceptual system can conceive. What remains unseen is not nonexistent but simply beyond conception. This leads to the idea that we are constantly immersed in an unseen universe that remains invisible due to the limitations of our perceptual interface. The work introduces the concept of a “conceptual regulator,” a mechanism that filters what consciousness transmits, allowing only what the physical condition can support. This regulator determines the boundaries of human conception and explains why vast amounts of information remain inaccessible. The text suggests that what appears as empty space may be fully inhabited, and that the horizon is not a boundary of what lies beyond but of what lies before—already present but not yet conceived. This inner horizon becomes a metaphor for the unseen interior universe. The dream state is proposed as a domain where conception expands, allowing access to frequencies and contents unavailable in wakefulness. The absence of perceptual limits in dreams suggests that sleep may prepare the mind for conceptual unfolding. The work concludes that the true “beyond” is internal, not external. It is a domain already present within us, accessible only through expanded vigilance and conceptual refinement. Entering this inner beyond “while alive” becomes the central challenge of human cognition.
