"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern."
Infinite includes your perspective, my perspective, everything. I don't think Blake is arguing that we should or can all see the same thing. I think he's arguing that there is always more to see when we look past our own self-created barriers. instead of our limited worldviews, imagine having infinity open for interpretation. The possibility are unimaginable!!!!
But...but...if everyone saw the same thing, perceived the same thing...there would be no "interpretations"! It would be BORING!
