CHAPTER The instruments that shape us externalize our intuitions, although they reduce our range of observa- tion (those renowned faster passing times). We often try to categorize it in an admissible framework, which, however, cuts it off from valu- able information. All the more so because there is much more of it. Admissible means “temporarily acceptable.” This natural tendency is caused by a lack of self-confidence, a personal flaw raising doubts about the experience of others and their testimonies. Of course, some ea toaa non testimonies are false or imaginary, but those are a minority. Once again, statistics speak if we make them speak correctly. It is unreasonable to think that testimonies cannot be used as a reliable instrument, particu- larly when correlations can be established. The vast majority of people are perfectly able to describe as objectively as possible what they have seen, heard or felt without necessarily understanding it. People are of good faith and are really just conservative, no matter what other terms we use. It is time to rise above the contingencies of some micro-cosmos. The true difficulty lies in the fact that each human being has a different level of perception and is therefore more or less reli- able. It all boils down to ascertaining which witnesses has the highest level of perceptual maturity. Who is capable of making that assessment? Let us reflect on the evolutionary nature of beings.

That it is the origin of disturbances, even of ill- nesses unsuitably called “mental” disorders.
