Perception is Reality

Am I going to tell you some metaphysical property about changing the world through your perceptions? Yes and No.

No, this isn't a magical formula, you can't create a spoon out of thin air. The world does operate on laws. However, I can tell you about how changing your perceptions can change your reality.

Our mind is naturally the filter by which we see the world around us. To an optimistic person, life is a grand adventure. To a pessimistic person, life is a grand torture. To the optimistic person, a problem is a challenge to overcome and a way to express our inner divine love. To a pessimistic person, a problem is an obstacle to being happy and having what we want.

The values we place on objects, the perceptions we hold, the expectations we have, each of these shape our reality. They may not turn a circle into a square, but they do change the innate values.

Each person's perception of reality is different, thus each person's options are different due to our different views.

To someone who loves and adores a certain TV show, recieving a dvd of that show is priceless. While someone else may feel that recieving such a gift is worthless.



Jesus Christ once said "If you had faith as small as a mustard seed, you could move mountains." (Not exact quote)

Perhaps he wasn't talking about physical mountains. Perhaps he spoke of the mountains that stood in our path to happiness, the mountains of hate and frustration. If we had faith in ourselves and loved ourselves, that we could move that mountain out of our way and into true happiness.

I believe he was mainly speaking about our views on life, our perceptions and the obstacles that we percieve.

The law of attraction is where your going with this?

Haha, well I haven't been here for a while so let me catch up on what I said back then.

I'm not so certain what "The Secret" is, but what I was saying here is pretty much that how we view the events in our lives can determine the quality of the events and the path our life has taken us.

I'm not really talking about the law of attraction here, what I simply mean is that our beliefs and perceptions on the events in our lives are just as important, if not more so, than the actual events themselves.

Happiness being something that comes from the inside, how we view our lives and how we view the events in our lives, rather than anything out of it. Our perceptions on ourselves and the events in our lives being a key to being happier.

Of course, I could suppose that a healthy dose of optimism can help you get where you want to go, but it can't get you to your destination alone. But atleast it can help you to enjoy the journey better.

Thinking now, this topic mirrors a quote that i've always liked..

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are."

..our own perception is own own reality, definately.
