What's in the box?

A friend knocks on the door to your home. You open a door and they have a box in their hand, saying they have a new object they have acquired and that the object is completely new. So your friend opens the box, and you see for the first time the contents of the box. You form an initial impression of the object. You notice that it shiny, that it has wings, wheels, bolts, screws, nuts, joints, etc etc. The moment you see it, you create this gestalt working knowledge of the object. You've created something new in your head, but you've done it using the old knowledge that you had stored in your mind. As you see the object work, you start adding even more of your knowledge to restructure your idea of the object, creating new gestalt points.

Say that we hit the rewind button, and go back through each individual novel moment that we experience just like the contents of what is in the box. Each moment we take parts of ourselves, and combine them into a new idea. Let us go all the way back to the beginning to the origin point of our existence? What came before this point? The only solution to this is that we came into existence with a preconceived perspective. What is this preconceived perspective... I'll leave that up for people to debate, but the notion of Tabula Rasa is essentially impossible.

Now imagine from the origin point, every moment is a novel experience, being painted in your preconceived perspective. As you grow, your working universe grows. The entire universe essentially becomes a reflection of the self to you. So the question is, what is really in the box?
