6)”” You don't see and feel the world with your

mind. The material condition shapes your

mind.””<br>This, as dksesh pointed out is simply a difference in

perception and a change in perception can only come about by

silence and a closer look at it again. Not by endless

exchange of opinions, some basic things do need direct

understanding.<br>“”Now extrapolate your mind to be the consciousness of

the society and your interaction with the sphere to

be man's interaction with the means of production

and you will see how the material conditions of

production shape consciousness.””<br>This would need further

explanation, unable to understand the

reality,<br>-Not just on reality appearing to be real today with

no certainity of tomorrow,<br>-On reality based on

personal experience and awareness of each of the

individuals constituting it,<br>-Not on anybody’s opinions,

however super-intelligent he may be, even if his opinions

are based upon all the evidence gathered from the

millenia of past, <br>-The change not being brought about

simply by a sense of justice as has happened in so many

revolutions<br><br>regards really
