Gravity has a profound effect on human perception. Our concept of up and down, above and below, and all related perceptions are rooted in earth’s gravitational pull.
We associate negative emotions and states of being as sinking or falling. We associate positive states of emotion as rising. To fall is to lose potential energy, to stagnate at the bottom. To rise is to gain potential energy, to overcome the constant force that pulls us down. Even heaven is in the sky, while hell is beneath us.
The very construct of our consciousness is rooted in gravitational influences. It begs the question, how would the human mind be effected if all it ever knew was a weightless environment, with all planes being equally arbitrary?
