My wife has no sense of smell, so the same apple would taste different to her than it does to me. Your sense of smell does affect your taste buds.

Everything is like this. It is the common idea and the individual experience. If you get wrapped up in the individual idea, you miss out on the common idea.

It is the common idea or perception that leads to 'normality'.

This is actually the basic principle of perception.

Now you may be thinking what is he talking about, so I’ll explain a little more.

I am sure you have all hear the story from the bible about Adam and Eve. (Book of Genesis from the Old Testament)

The story is about how man was told not to take an apple from the Tree of Knowledge, he did and in doing so he took his first steps towards knowing right from wrong. He basically lost his innocence.

He was then dressed in cloths and cast out of Eden. The story also goes on to say that through this knowledge he would ultimately know what ‘God’ knew.

Now that is some potent apple, and hopefully this will explain a little towards what the affect of the apple has had on mankind and you yourself.

The taste of the apple is your own individual experience, and is never the same as any one else’s, in this respect, it is like life. Your life is yours and no one else’s, nobody will ever experience the same things in exactly the same way as you, this happens from birth to death. You could say nobody ever knows more than you about your own life and in that respect you are an individual and unique.

Now this leads then to the common idea or common perception, the apple held up for all to see. You could say this is how others see you. It is also how we share our thoughts and experiences. This in turn helps us access how we feel about our-selves and how we judge our self.

This is basically what we do when we talk to our friends, and how we share our experiences. There is no hidden meaning in this and is as simple as it sounds.
