Shifting Perspective

[Lil Chris]

Shining a different light on the objective / subjective reality situation...

I'm sure we're all familiar with being a product of your environment (reactive state or objective reality). If your environment changes insubstantially or substantially, you will change in accordance to fit that environment, to fit in and not be an outcast. But, in a seemingly balanced world of positive and negative, love and fear, in and out, up and down etc... Wouldn't it make sense that your environment also be a product of you (creative state or subjective reality). What I'm referring to here is states of mind and states of being. If you could do the shifting, wouldn't the logical thing to expect, is the environment shifting to compliment you...?

Please, Share your thoughts...

Maybe, and I think that would involved you moving or changing it. It's not going to do it by itself, but IM will provide you with the opportuities to change location etc.

In my view, all reality is subjective reality for us.

Our perceptive faculties - our 5 senses - always allow us to recognise only a section of the whole, only a part of what is really there : we can see, for example, only a part of the whole spectrum of light, hear only certain frequencies of sound, feel a small range of temperature, smell just strong odours and taste only certain flavours.

Like a radio only manufactured for reception of FM-frequencies cannot tune in to AM-frequencies, each human being can only perceive and respond to those vibrations of reality for which s/he has an affinity, which form part of our own architectural blueprint.

All the other vibrations are still there, but pass unnoticed and therefore do not form part of our own individual, or objective reality.

If there are ~6 billion people on earth, they perceive ~6 billion different individual realities. Because we cannot get in touch with anything but our own range of perception, each one of us furthermore believes that the reality we experience ourselves - the ideas, people and situations we come into contact with - is the total reality there is. Anything outside of it doesn’t exist for us.

Consequently, what we call our environment - which we think is the same for all of us - truly is nothing else but a mirror in which we experience our individual selves. We can never see anything but ourselves because from the objective reality as a whole, we individually filter out - as it were - only those things for which we have an affinity or the adequate antenna.

As human beings, we are not only 'radios' receiving certain frequencies, however, but also 'broadcasters' sending out our own vibrations all the time. By reacting to our unique reality, we develop it further individually, creating and growing our own world as well as the whole of humanity. This is the never-ending dance of the universe as I understand it.
