We, or more specifically - our minds do not "perceive" reality, but instead create reality. Its sometimes difficult to grasp, but it only makes sense...follow this:
1. We experience some situation
2. Our minds interpret the situation based on "who we are"
3. We summarize the situation and attach a "feeling" to it. (here is the trick - as we can associate any feeling we want; happy, good, bad, sad, whatever - not in explicit, logical terms - but how we "feel" about the situation...we're free to make whatever feeling we want".
4. What we feel, our emotions are the deepest truths...these are our reality.
So many people miss the forrest for the trees...its so easy to NOT understand this. Its so easy to attack this reasoning with cold, calculating logic - yet so hard to accept it for the simple truth that it implys - we create our own reality every moment of every day. It's just way to scary to accept for some people - that they're responsible for where they find themselves...
If everyone could just let go...stop struggling and searching for answers where there are no questions. The real truths are inherent, they're in plain sight - not hidden, there is no mystery...just accept what you already know.
