Information quite literally must be sifted through the layers of the medium’s personality. (Pause.) The nervous system reacts to the information even as it translates it. Nothing is neutral. Nothing can be neutral in those terms. The information is received and translated, as it must be, into mechanisms which the nervous system can handle and interpret and translate in physical terms. The information then, like any perception, becomes a part of the nervous system’s structure. It cannot be otherwise.

Any perception of any kind instantly alters the electromagnetic and neurological systems of the perceiver. In your terms, physically, that is what perception is—an alteration of neurological structure. The perceiving mechanisms themselves change and are changed by that which they perceive, and I am speaking now of your physical system, and the physical nature of any perception.

Now. (Pause.) Any perception immediately blends, then, with the entire system of the individual. Any perception is action, and it changes that upon which it acts, and in so doing it is itself changed (underlined.) This applies to any perception.
