    Some history about real perceptions:

    The phrase ‘real perceptions‘ combines two words: ‘real‘ and ‘perceptions.‘ 1. Real: The word ‘real‘ comes from the Latin ‘realis,‘ meaning ‘actual‘ or ‘pertaining to things.‘ It is derived from ‘res,‘ which means ‘thing‘ or ‘matter.‘ In English, ‘real‘ generally refers to something that exists objectively or is true, as opposed to something that is imaginary or illusory.2. Perceptions: This word comes from the Latin ‘perceptio,‘ which means ‘the act of taking in‘ or ‘the ability to perceive.‘ It is derived from ‘percipere,‘ meaning ‘to seize‘ or ‘to understand,‘ composed of ‘per-‘ (through) and ‘capere‘ (to take or seize). In English, ‘perception‘ refers to the process of becoming aware of or understanding something through the senses.When combined, ‘real perceptions‘ refers to the awareness or understanding of things that are considered to have objective existence or truth, as opposed to subjective feelings or interpretations. The phrase emphasizes the distinction between what is perceived through the senses and the objective reality of what exists. In philosophical contexts, it might also engage discussions around metaphysics, epistemology, and the nature of reality and knowledge.
