Perception is often a deception of the mind that is fed from
various sources of past programming. That programming may well be the
perception that you have nurtured of what limitations you see in yourself.
Foggy days and foggy nights surround most of individual humanity as well as the
collective. A rolling stone gathers no moss, but like people, when reaching
their adulthood, rarely ‘roll on’ with who they really are, instead rolling
over who they are not. You are not using your inner powers, even if the outer
skills are outstanding. Most are stuck in a fog when it comes to what’s behind
their eyes.
Life lived in the outer world with little reflection on the inner,
is like an iceberg, and most is below what can be seen. The perceiver who can
be his own worst ‘deceiver’, often is attached to having personal judgments of
others that have little basis in reality. One having insightfulness, intuition,
and a highly developed sensitive empathy sees and acts out the inner qualities
of himself, while seeing others with far more accuracy than the norm. Most live
with an ‘outer view’ of life, always basing their thinking and perception of
others from a more superficial perspective. It is with great trepidation that
they take the journey into the inner self for fears of looking at what they
bury, and avoid while placating themselves with the external.
Life is an opportunity for inner growth of the spirit, and being
able to reach to the consciousness while slowly leaving the negatives of the
unconscious behind with a new positive outlook. Watch whatever comes up on the
outside, but be untouched by it as a witness, and go to your center of being
removed, and allowing your inner bliss to arise.
Perception doesn't really mean much to me anymore. people who I perceived to be one way proven to be the total opposite. Often when we are disappointed by our friends family or whatever because of something they did or didn't do it is usually our fault for creating our ideal fantasy of that person. On the other side sometimes we miss out on a great relationship with someone because we can't see the special person they are because of an aspect of their lives that we don't like or approve of.
ReplyDeleteI really try to take as much of the person in before I make any judgments. Not that i always do it because I am human. But it helps not to get things twisted. Like the old saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover.
