Perception is interpretation of information that is received by our senses. These perceptions are laden with our values, worldviews, and biases from past experiences. One would have to make these biases and worldviews conscious to be able to work with them thru e.g., being self-reflexive. It's like the mind's heuristic or pattern that works in the background (a more broad range cognitive and emotional pattern would be like schemas). If these patterns are not made conscious then we may have a situation where 'the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing'. As Krishnamurti said again and again (w/ frustration) we have to observe self and ask ourselves questions - what do I believe, why do I believe, etc.,. From my experience, (and per my profession) it's building self-reflexive 'muscle' or 'situating' understanding based on one's worldviews. If you go to indigeonous peoples' conferences it's done a lot. This is my life story, this is what I believe, and this is what I think about x,y,z. There's more context to someone's perception of things and there is no right/wrong... maybe it's a bit green meme?

It's kind of a postmodern constructivist perspective so my answer is laden with certain worldviews and beliefs, too lol
