When should we trust our senses to give us the truth?

I often think about how we can be sure of things. Of course, our senses are the natural answers.  But these thoughts lead me to wonder “how can I be sure of that?” Example, I picture myself lying in the grass, looking up toward the sky. The clear blue stretches from left to right, to the horizon and beyond it. And I’m pretty sure it’s blue. My senses are telling me it’s blue. However, scientists have found that the wavelength of the light from the sky is actually one which we normally would see as purple. Our eyes prefer to see it blue. Now, where does that put us? Should we trust the scientists, who have spent many years to come up with the laws of nature to be able to investigate the relationship between light waves and human eyes? Or should we trust our senses, which in fact are able to modify the reality as we see it to its own will?

People also use their sense to interpret facts they know. Our limited senses in our existence are accurate enough; however, it’s the distorted thoughts concepts and imagination that can’t be trusted. Sometimes our imagination may be so wild that it may lead to the wrong conclusion of our senses. Or sometimes we sense something is right but known facts in our head may interact with it and make a wrong conclusion as well. But why do we think our senses feel ultimately right sometimes even when we don’t understand what does it mean?

Say for example our eyes tell us the sun comes up in the east and set in the west. If you were to think the sun must be travelling around the earth, would you say the senses lied to you after you learned the earth is travelling around the sun? Science tells us all matter is energy in motion and the mystics tell us it is light. Are our limited senses distorting the truth or is our ignorance at fault?
In my opinion, I think that senses can be trusted if intelligence is added to the equation. If we are talking about the spiritual none changing aspect of existence, then the senses cannot be trusted. The absolute field of being is beyond the relative field of existence. The absolute field of consciousness is the foundation upon which is built all relative aspects of life in which we live.
