Regardless of what the mind does, it is clear that no matter how many perspectives (or points of view) could be taken into account, there would be no visually accounting for how the room ACTUALLY looks altogether in reality. Because there are an innumerable amount of points of view that would have to be seen for one to say they actually see with their eyes what the room looks like in reality.

The mind seems to jump outside and look from a different 'perspective' .

Complete seeing happens presently. You will never see the past.
Even thoughts appearing that speak of past are arising presently and are seen presently.
What is happening (arising) presently is reality because there is nothing else.
Presence is all.
As I responded prior to this post, what you are experiencing when you see something is the memory or image of that object and that takes time to create the memory, and then process the memory. So the eyes are not a completely reliable faculty for basing an understanding of our actual reality on.

What the Eyes Tell Us
There are two ways to understand the world about us: through science, or through religion. Yet, like the eyes, neither is sufficient to give us a 280 degree understanding of the world.
The seeing with the eyes is simply one point of view, one angle of vision, and then the perception of this memory is experienced.

There are innumerable 'points of view' where the mind is concerned (versions of truth) but the seeing is one.
