Well... its a belief shared by many... but its only a belief. I think we will never know for sure if its so or not , because we only percieve reality through our "human-ness", we only percieve the reality as human beings. As there is no way to abandon our human-ness to percieve the reality, there is no way to know for sure if the reality we percieve as humans depends or not of our human condition.



PS. Ok... don Juan teached Castaneda how to percieve the world like a crow does, but i think most people wont even believe or concieve that its possible... so i think this fact is not of much use here...
