ThERe iS No REaLiTY...

ONLY PERCEPTION!




There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. - William Shakespeare


Whatever meaning or value a particular circumstance or any object has for us will be the meaning or value that we give in it. To appreciate how this law works, we need to understand the difference between sensation and perception. When light waves are received by our eyes, or sound waves by our ears, that is sensation: the phenomenon of stimuli being received  by our sense organs. Perception, on the other hand, is our organizing and interpreting of those sensations. Perception is the level at which we assign meaning to the sensations we receive from the world.

Making faulty initial assumptions about someone or something can lead us down the wrong path and many of these populate our mental institutions. Our common mistake is that we fail to test our assumptions before we begin to treat them as true.

We have to do what it takes to see that our perceptions are grounded in fact. Our perceptions should develop not just from our view of the world, but from our testing and verification of that view. The freshness of our perspective can make us see a new world, and a new self.

We are dynamic organisms. With every experience, we are changing. If we only use our experiences properly, we can improve.

There is no reality; only perception. Let our perceptions be fresh, new and grounded in fact, not in history!

Thus,
nothing is difficult; unless we think it is..
no one is bad; unless we think one is..
nobody is ugly; unless we think somebody is..
we are all special; unless we think we're not..
