Perception vs. Perspective

[@MichaelJTimms]

Brilliant, short explanation of an important principle. Nicely done.

[@thebunn]

Concise and poignant. Thanks for sharing such good vibes!

[@gapuan]

This was an excellent. The 2 dogs illustration was perfect. I've always tried to explain this by holding out your hand, in the thumbs up position, at arms length, close one eye, then cover a non-moving object (a light fixture, a flag, a person, etc.) in the distance with that thumb and hold it there so you can no longer see that object. Next I tell them, without moving your hand, to switch eyes. What was covered and unseen is now clearly seen and it seems that the thumb moved and may have even covered something else. Then I tell them, without moving their hand, to open both eyes. Not only can you see each object that was covered by the thumb but you can see them at the same time, plus, your thumb seems to get fuzzy and it looks like it isn't even there. But when you change your focus (with both eyes open) and just focus on the thumb all you see is your thumb and, depending on how hard you focus on your thumb, you may see two thumbs. This can help illustrate many things about problems (your thumb), goals (objects behind thumb), seeing things from different perspectives (switching eyes), how you can see your goal and other things if you don't focus on your problems (both eyes open not focusing on the thumb) and finally, how focusing on your problems can throw everything out of focus or even mulitplying the problems. Anyway, thank you for sharing! I like your card demonstration. I'm gonna have to find cards like that so I can use them like you did, too. I just realized that you posted this almost 3 years ago! Wow.

[@markhight8711]

Finally an answer I understand. Thank you. Your examples are easy. Your parable is priceless. Position opens up a new world if possibilities. Wow. Love new knowledge.

[@joaniebeaubien4840]

Wow you are so brilliant. A great metaphor to be mindful on our perspective and how that might influence our perception!! Love this!! Thanks!!

[@Winnie1322]

I've been looking for an explanation for this and you are the only one that's done a decent job. Thank you

[@Realrap2727]

You know as simple as it may seem at first look THIS Really BLESSED Me just now. As i struggle with offense, depression n growing in Faith God has been showing me how the enemy is using my perspective, perception n position to distract n derail me, slow leaking me in efforts to inevitably destroying me, but this however simple yet im sure easier said than done lol nevertheless POWERFUL just switched my mind onto A Whole other wave length of consciousness n intentionality that i will be utilizing prayerfully on my spiritual walk. A MAJOR Key that Will help me endure till the end! THANK YOU SO MUCH. Im Really Truly Grateful. GOD BLESS YOU GENIE!!!!❤

[@DennisVanvliet-t5i]

Imho, Position is often attachment pattern related (upbringing-> adopted convictions/believes etc). If every individual would learn to realize this and question everything from upbringing, incl the environment they live and grew up in they 100% will change! This realization is very powerful and could even end wars!

[@fayebrown914]

Thank you. I looked this up, because I had used the word "perspective" in a comment on You Tube. Then I saw a reply with the use of the word "perceptive." That got me wondering about the use of one word vs. the other word, and wondering whether I had used the correct word. Your video answered my question, (and I had used the correct word). Thank you.

[@InLoveWithLove252]

I ❤ you. Also, I'm praying that you are a teacher of a massive portion of the population, an infinite number of times more than your youtube reach. Your aura here exudes radiant love. Thank you for sharing. 💜❤️💜 First time seeing one of your videos. Headed to your main page to see what other gems I find. You'll most likely have a new subscriber too. 😊

[@Carrisalove]

This was very good. Yes sir. I am grateful for this. 🙂🤟

[@jacintamakau246]

You made it easier for me to understand the difference,thanks❤

[@amandab6123]

Thank you so much! I really enjoyed this video. You're awesome.

[@rapplejab]

Wow thank you, friend! You really put everything into...Stay awesome!

[@GenieDeez]

This made my day 🙌🏽🥲

[@ruthfaleolo1443]

Thanks Genie, great explanation and visual illustrations demonstrated the concepts well.

[@CraigLoeffelholz-nk2xq]

Great parable, enjoyed hearing. (man that room of mirrors is interesting example sort of like group-think / and at same time the power of self-influencing) Thanks!

[@CraigLoeffelholz-nk2xq]

(Viewing this more than once gives much depth, great 👍)

[@daniellemcgill7923]

I recognized the difference immediately in the cards. Almost annoyingly because i had to watch you “explain” the difference like i am stupid or something lololololol i hope that makes sense

[@papiking307]

Lmfaoo

[@triomphe19]

Very nicely done! I really enjoyed your insight, thanks you :)

[@MRBOBBY8706]

Dude I have a theory I call Bobby's Dot Theory and I will send you a copy of my book when it is done! You helped so much. I kept on blending perspective and point of view together. I was wrong. Thank you so much!

[@GenieDeez]

I can't WAIT to get a copy of your book!!! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@rvkvikas]

You are Awesome!

[@squarebizz498]

Love you to bro ! thank you for your time and knowledge. One love 2018

[@DhaneCrowley]

Am I understanding the concept correctly with this example: Perception: i dont go in the ocean so i can avoid danger ie. getting bit by a shark Perspective: i have to be cautious to preserve my life Position: driving is more dangerous than going in the ocean.

[@Itsthetruth360]

So easy to understand. I always used the term perspective but never saw the relation between the three.

[@lottaaction8072]

Brilliant!

[@lifeofunstableperson1840]

Best explanation in the WORLD

[@somethingyousaid5059]

If I had gone into that room with the mirrors in it, I would have come out of it looking more terrified than ever. 😁

[@dhiru163]

Thanku for this great information

[@colorsstones8957]

I heard someone said in the conference room In my perspective i see that..... Another said that's my perception of that So i went looking for the difference between both because they sound similar in a way that make it confusing

[@anthony3666]

Great video!

[@edhaene]

great!! thanks, Genie!

[@happysolo9523]

great its clear sir

[@j.m.6605]

Awesome video!!

[@KeJhan15]

Great Video

[@rupeshchitari]

Awesome man

[@Driveright698]

Nice. Always get them confused lol.

[@GenieDeez]

You and me both!

[@fakethmoneth5001]

Who got this as part of an assignment for school?

[@exiledscouser919]

When perspective is overridden by perception.

[@AlexGin-l9l]

Sorry, but now I'm still confused. Look, when you define the word perception you say, and I quote: "perception is a way you regard ... something." And then, you give a definition to perspective: " a way of regarding something." So, what's the difference? Could you please give more examples?

[@nastarbintang7297]

can u add some definition about perspective by experts?

[@GenieDeez]

Absolutely, can do!

[@Letmebe_2363]

Thank you soooooooooooo much!!

[@GenieDeez]

More smiles got it even if they think am weird love u too bruh

[@eilishjiya9617]

❤️❤️

[@MattAngiono]

Ever since I discovered photography, I've been interested in both and seek out what i call "perceptive perspective" Been thinking of starting a KZbin channel of the same name. The idea is that as we shift our perspective, we can also change our perception of life. In other words, how we perceive the world depends entirely on our own perspective, which we can always change. What do you think?

[@leo730kam1]

Precisely, Edit: Reality would be the truth of the matter.

[@jameskeating4719]

Gotta watch 3 times cause i drift

[@jameskeating4719]

people hate him lmao narcissist hate him am saying thank you ❤sir HIS A INFJ as I AM

[@michaelalligood4622]

I think you meant to say, “Perspective is everything.” You said, perception. The card trick was a perspective trick, not a perception trick.

[@hanssoo8566]

thank you

[@dipenchhetri4452]

Thanks bussy

Laters...Good luck with delusionals

[@Jonaiworld2018]

U was a nerd in school wasn’t u 😂

[@GenieDeez]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 heck yeah

[@24OakRaiders]

I appreciate the video, but I disagree with the explanation of perception and perspective. I believe your perception is influenced by your existing perspective.

[@rileyrichfit]

That’s a very interesting perspective😏

[@dna3930]

They are both based on many variables. For each of us together as a group of people some of our perceptions and perspectives are based on the social normalcy of that culture and society. Some of the variables is beliefs and upbringing. Some is life experiences. You can take 2 people. First 1 a combat vet, the 2nd person normal civilian life never heard a gun go off. Say a bank robbery and the robbers was shootung up in the air. Now the vet would be more likely to experience it in a way because of their experiences. The vet could probably tell exactly how many shots, if the ribbers had some military training and assess the situation. Where the civilian would see and experience it differently. They would say rapid gun fire, guess at how many shots fired, most likely avoiding any eye contact for fear. Another thought, is psychology is different from country to country and cultures. Some find certain things acceptable and even expected while another country might view it unacceptable even against the law. Sometimes it is these different views and perspectives and perceptions that causes conflict everywhere in the world.
