A unique concept, non-perception(anupalabdhi) in Indian philosophypoints out the perception that is aware of the absence of a particularobject. Even though there have been various philosophical andconceptual arguments over non-perception among the different schools,it has not been emphasized enough that non-perceptual awareness is animportant process of cognition that attracts the evolution and maturationof consciousness as well as the ultimate awakening of it. Perception inthe phenomenal world in which there are three factors of perception,i.e., cognitive subject, cognized object and cognitive functioning wouldbe divided into both sensory perception that perceives the form andquality of object through sense organs and mental construction dealingwith inner objects such as mental images. Consciousness in thephenomenal realm regards the cognizing subject and cognized objectsas a reality. In the perspective of the ultimate truth, object orientedperception is the mental construction like an illusion. In other words,the individual beings and objects considered to exist because they areperceived are only experienced as if they really existed. Subjects andobjects reveal their existence only within the experienced and perceivedphenomenon. This fact can be verified by the method of thenon-perceptual awareness which is established without objects. Thenon-perception is working as a decisive knowledge which leads the conscious transformation and maturity until the Self-awareness thatrealizes the absence of subjects and objects is completed.
Self-awareness is a phenomenon that consciousness discerns the realaspect of the existence and the world and witnesses the true nature ofconsciousness itself. It is the phenomenon that grasps the ultimate truththat is non-duality. Upanishads and other ancient texts in Indiaacknowledge the process of Self-awareness beyond perceptual andnon-perceptual knowledge with the different states of consciousness indaily lives such as waking, sleeping, and deep sleep. The innerconsciousness of individual beings is able to be matured andtransformed when the non-perceptual awareness becomes known to itas a real experience.
