Why Is the World Half-Created and Half-Perceived?

"What does it mean when you say the world is half perception, half creation? Rupert says: ‘When you look at white snow, imagine you’ve got contact lenses on and your contact lenses are tinted orange. But you’ve been wearing contact lenses all your life, so you’ve forgotten that you’re wearing contact lenses . . . So you don’t actually see white snow, you see orange snow . . . It’s a mixture of the white snow, plus the orange filter through which you perceive it . . . The appearance of the world is created by your perceiving faculties . . . Corresponding with those faculties, the world appears to you as sights, sounds, tastes, textures, and smells . . . The reality of the world . . . exists prior to perception and independent of its being perceived . . . Our perceiving faculties confer their qualities on the world . . . We half create the world, and we half perceive what’s really there, namely the activity of infinite consciousness.’"
