ABSTRACT
Perspective for the Therapist: On a More Contemporary View of Gestalt Therapy One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in science is the
nature of consciousness and the human mind. The consciousness appears as a volumetric spatial void, containing colored objects and surfaces. Thisreveals that the representation in the brain takes the form of an explicit volumetrics spatial model of external reality. The world we seearound us therefore is not the real world itself, but merely a miniaturevirtual-reality replica of that world in an internal representation. Thephenomena of dreams and hallucinations clearly demonstrate the capacity of the brain to construct complete virtual worlds even in theabsence of sensory input. Perception is therefore somewhat like aguided hallucination, based on sensory stimulation.
