Yes, there is an element of tautology which rises from the reflexive and recursive nature of the process. Belief influences perception and perception influences belief. And all this is complicated because we exist in a co-created reality. Co-creation is what avoids the trap of solipsism and is also why most gross aspects of reality appear "objective". But "objective reality" is an illusion generated by consciousness and this is the frontier that contemporary physics is now actively exploring. I highly recommend The Physics of Consciousness by Evan Harris Walker for a "report from the field" on this topic. See amazon.com for details.

One of the real differences between eastern and western tradition seems to be that the east provides this vast storehouse of "right brain" perception while the west provides the bulk of the "left brain" analysis and integration which transforms these perceptions into technology. The east has known this stuff for millennia and has been content to simply "enjoy the show". The west is far too restless for that. The result has been initiatives like the Global Consciousness Project (see noosphere.princeton.edu for details) which is documenting the hard evidence that the western mind demands. I particularly recommend their recent analysis of the 9/11 impact on global consciousness.
