Deliberate
​…secondary imagination that” dissolves, diffuses, dissipates, in order to recreate.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Biographia Literaria 

Some Thoughts on Memory & Imagination

Early in the 19th century, Coleridge's discussion was on on how the mind perceives reality. Initially, he chooses to agree with David Hartley (David Hartley FRS was an English philosopher and founder of the Associationist school of psychology, 1705- 1757) that new thoughts are necessarily born out of existing ideas. However, in time, he moves away from this concept and posits that new realities emerge as people interact with nature. He asserts that human minds do not operate mechanically and are not dependent on an input of old thoughts for newer ideas to appear.
 
In psychology and the cognitive sciences, perception is the process of getting, interpreting, selecting, and organizing sensory information. It includes the collection of data from sense organs through to the interpretation made by the brain. ... Perception is a lot more than just "information coming in".
