Welcome back to our weekly Drop in the Ocean post where we feature the amazing content that was created for the show. 

This weeks topic was <b>Perception</b>, a word which some of us linked too closely to Perspective than we should of. Luckily, we had a mixture of posts and discussion that cleared things up.

To see what we discussed during the show, you have to keep reading. Visit the posts and show some support while you dive deep into the topic of perception from this weeks Drop in the Ocean show.

The top two voted writers will 'level up'. When a member has levelled up, they will receive a daily upvote from the BuddyUP account at 50%. The member keeps their level for 2 weeks, unless they level up again on DITO within those 2 weeks. Every time you level up, you will receive an additional 10% on your daily vote, maxing out at level 5.

The writer with the most votes will be resteemed straight after this post. This is so we can all look back at the BuddyUP blog and see the winning posts from each week.

If you are wondering how you can join the Drop in the Ocean show, you will find all the required information at the bottom of this post.

@youhavewings winning post is a truly remarkable read for us to sink our teeth into. 

She has gone into great detail to share information about our perceptions, the world and dimensions, and how we can be our own worst enemy when it comes to perceiving our surroundings. 

>Perception is being drawn from outside of ourselves and we are perceiving who we are from that place based on what we perceive to be true or not.

The most interesting points shared by @youhavewings are at the end of the post where the mention of E8, or the eighth dimension, is introduced. This is definitely something to be read for yourself.

Remember when I mentioned at the beginning about perspective being misinterpreted as a similar meaning to perception? Well, @Shadowspub had plans to set this straight since the week prior.

>The word perception derives from the Latin word “Perceptio” which means to seize or understand. Perception is the process of becoming aware of something through our physical senses — sight, touch, feel, smell etc. 

In this post, Shadows explains why Perception and Perspective are different and why. She also goes on to share her views on perception within the political world.

### How do you get involved?
<center><img src="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXEJZeddBW2nCEre7bdfFx6XNBcZVKE6DcBXvDpSv2FVJ/johnnychen.jpg"></center>

Have you been reading through and wondering how you can get involved with our community/show? Below I've listed the steps to take, so you can jump into the action and share your perspective and views, with all of us here at BuddyUP.

- Head over to our BuddyUP server. You can do this by following the SafeLink post [here](https://steemit.com/buddyup/@buddyup/you-are-in-the-safe-zone).

- Think about the topic for next week, which is...

<center><div class="phishy"><h2>Lucidity</h2></div></center>

-  Write a post about that topic then publish it on Sunday or early Monday so we may have a chance to read your post in time. Once published come by to the Drop in the Ocean show on Monday (20:00 UTC) to present it and join the conversation. 

- You are welcome to bring with a post on the topic from any other sources which you feel will contribute to the discussion. Bring a friend, bring a post and bring yourself. 



The final and the most important piece of information is... **do not publish your post until Sunday or Monday**. This is so we can give you all the best amount of exposure possible on your posts and also so you get paid out on the day of the show; so you can come back with an even bigger smile on your face!
