Show notes
This podcast is no stranger to the concept of our reality being based on our perception of it. It’s fairly common knowledge at this point that our perception shapes and influences our personal experience of reality.
The lens through which you interpret the world is different than the lens I interpret the world; which means our experience of people, places, and things - are rooted in our personal realities and may not always reflect the same reality.
There are days where my negative lens colors the way I interpret everything I see and do, and there are days where my positive lens colors the way I interpret everything I see and do. Even if the day offers the exact same shit, and I am the same me, I have the potential to have VASTLY different experiences within each of my “moods” and they are all valid, true, and REAL. But this reality - the perceived experience of it all - is not the only reality that exists. There are countless realities we can create for ourselves by changing our perspective - and there are countless realities other’s experience based on their changing perspectives.
This is an important thing to understand in general, for our own wellbeing and to improve our connections with others. The fact of the matter is - we are not simply seeing and believing our reality, we’re creating it. I wills ay, this is where it gets slippery. People hear - we create our own reality, and think suddenly they will solve all problems and make all the money and do all the things - but unfortunately, I don’t mean we can alter what’s real beyond our perception. I do mean we can alter our experience through it. Our interpretation of reality can be manipulated, which means it is quite frankly, unreliable.
