More Optical Illusions
http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/~akitaoka/index-e.html
Akiyoshi's illusion pages include more examples of fascinating optical illusions. I'm not sure why I have always been swept away by them. Perhaps because not only because they show that perception is not reality, but also seem to show that at times reality is even difficult to know. And I go one step further wondering if reality at times is impossible to know. Actually, the thoughts can lead to all sorts of questions about the nature of reality if I let them and they serve as good fodder for a directed meditation or thoughtful hour lying on a couch instead of watching T.V.
