Some thoughts on reality
Change your reality from within
What is reality? I mean, what does it mean when we mention reality? Is reality something that is unique to each and every one of us because of our own conceptions? Think about that for a minute. When something is defined as real or not real, it would be more correct to say that it exists or does not, because everything that does exist is real. The thought of something that we do not know to exist is real itself and yet the subject of the thought may not be so.
But it is certainly true that if something does exist, then it can be proven, but if we do not know that something exists, we cannot prove that fact because we can only say that something does not exist to the best of our own knowledge.
So given those facts, reality is different to each being that has some state of awareness. Based on our own conceptions, we experience our own version of what is real to our senses and our thoughts. But why do we not, as individuals, share the same reality? I mean, we share similar experiences in our daily lives, but each perception is unique.
The answer to this is our beliefs. Our beliefs are shaped from the moment we are born. They are like reactions to the things we experience throughout the continuous moment that is our lives. It may not seem like it, but we are constantly forming new thoughts and evolving. But if we can become more aware of this fact, we can change our belief system simply through changing our thoughts and therefore our lives, our experiences, our perception, our reality.
Just a thought.
