“The process of perception begins with an object in the real world, known as the distal stimulus or distal object. By means of light, sound, or another physical process, the object stimulates the body’s sensory organs. These sensory organs transform the input energy into neural activity—a process called transduction. This raw pattern of neural activity is called the proximal stimulus. These neural signals are then transmitted to the brain and processed. The resulting mental re-creation of the distal stimulus is the percept.
To explain the process of perception, an example could be an ordinary shoe. The shoe itself is the distal stimulus. When light from the shoe enters a person’s eye and stimulates the retina, that stimulation is the proximal stimulus. The image of the shoe reconstructed by the brain of the person is the percept. Another example could be a ringing telephone. The ringing of the phone is the distal stimulus. The sound stimulating a person’s auditory receptors is the proximal stimulus. The brain’s interpretation of this as the “ringing of a telephone” is the percept.”

Every other Christian preaching, let me warn you NOW, is futile nonsense (though well-meaning) without the concept of CHRISTPSYCHIC CONSCIOUSNESS and CHRIST DOPPELGANGERISM.
It’s what Paul spells out plain as day in Galatians 2:20:
“I have been crucified with Christ; I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
[REMEMBER THIS RULE! Any valid Christian argument and belief must have a biblical verse to back it up; if it doesn’t, ignore what the person is saying. Thus, any disagreement between two or more Christians simply comes down to a matter of interpretation, and this is solved by whose interpretation the Holy Spirit deems is correct. Both individuals, however, will walk away thinking they are right, but in reality someone is right, and the other person is wrong.]
In the Process of Perception explained by Wikipedia above, we are percepts that reflect or “identical twin” (some would argue with greater or lesser accuracy, but this is beside the point) in our perception the source of that perception: the distal object in the invisible and inaccessible external world. A non-consciousness composed shoe somehow sends signals from the external world in the form of stimuli such as light, etc. that must make it to the brain, generally through the eyes, (secondarily through the other sensory organs on the face and in a tertiary sense the skin on one’s body) and the stimuli must, by hook or by crook, make it to one’s brain, because it is here the magic happens, so to speak. The brain generates a consciousness-composed doppelganger or replica of the shoe in the external world!
(If you believe this nonsense)
Well, in the same way, in order to not go to Hell when you die…guess what? You must be in the state or condition of Galatians 2:20, which aside from also having the Spirit of Jesus within you, which takes over for your consciousness to be you in moments of God-pleasing righteousness (Christpsychic Consciousness)….your percept, that is your perception of the world or this pre-grave plane of existence, as well as your thoughts and emotions…must have as their distal object or distal stimulus something that has previously and actually appeared in the mind of Jesus Christ!
You, if saved, are a perceptual and mental doppelganger of Jesus Christ (not a visual one) in two modes:
- The likeness of the Lord’s death (Romans 6:5)
- The likeness of the Lord’s resurrection during the three days before His “physical” resurrection (Romans 6:5)
Also in terms of Christpsychic Consciousness above, Colossians 3:11
