"Nothing is contained but by perception" how true that seems, the need to become aware, presumably of something external since the senses do not seem to work on internal entities accepted as existing without benefit of direct perception --liver, tonsil, etc; many organs' function is assumed but not necessarily directly perceived. Perception is used here as a form of awareness of presences beyond the body which is the perceptual system that will account for an occurence of awareness; that is, awareness itself is perceived, strengthening your assertion that "nothing is contained but by perception," including the perception that our perceptions contain us, provide us with the meanings and interpretations that give structure or context to the perceptions. So perception contains the perceptions that contain the evidence of awareness which is used further to contain understandings based on awareness or observations and encounters --perception is a system rather than a thing, and as a system, has irregular shape and function, is not static, shrinks and graws, fades and intensifies, turns itself inside out, upside down, at any given moment in anyt particular moment may function as either a stabilizing perceived meaning of perceived activity or may function as a dynamic path from one perceived meaning into another nuance or another meanings altogether that becomes possible as it is perceived. So perception as a container in part offers momentary shape or structure to something that changes shape as it encounters other perceivable elements --the imperceptible elements are probably not going to be of any meaningful (perceived) consequence until the element comes into awareness (perception). To perceive the universe then, or a concept of "everything" is to simultaneously be contained by that idea.
