Do Your Perceptions Change after Awakening?

What changes after awakening? How does waking up to your true nature affect your mind and perceptions of the world? And if everyone became enlightened would that change reality?

Rupert says all human minds are configured in the same way — in the form of thinking and perceiving. When you wake up to your true nature you still think and perceive.
The Buddha, Jesus Christ and Ramana Maharshi’s minds were configured in exactly the same way as our minds. Recognising their true nature didn't change their faculties of sense perception. The change is that the appearance of the world loses its veiling power. For most people, the appearance of the world veils the one reality.

If society were made up of people who recognize the shared nature of our being — cruelty, unkindness, injustice and conflict would be almost impossible. Simply because everyone would feel that they share their being with the apparent other — so there'd be no impulse to harm them in any way or to cause suffering to a person or an animal.
