Why Do We All Perceive Reality Differently? Here's the ANSWER!

[@WildAlchemicalSpirit]

"When you change the way you look at things, the things that you look at change." -Dr Wayne Dyer

[@bumblebee803]

Word!

[@TorMax9]

It depends what you tune into. The universe is broadcasting at infinite wavelengths. You adjust the dial to tune into various aspects like an old 1950's radio could by turning the dial tune into a baseball game or a talk show or rock 'n' roll music... You can tune into holy things, beautiful things, ugly things, uplifting things, depressing things, encouraging things, empowering things, etc. They are all "there" and they are all "real". The question is: "What is their value to life?" "Are they life-promoting?" "Life-enhancing?" "Life enriching?"

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Yes, we can select what we choose, as long as we don't allow ourselves to get enmeshed in the larger societal reality that shifts generationally, and which has multiple aspects within the grandiose/collective reality.

Here is the most rational agument on this point. The ONLY Reality that you can be absolutely sure of that exists is your own! That can be a terrifying revelation, as we also tend to lean heavily towards confirmation bias as well to explain and reinforce our perceptions and beliefs. Too many competing ideologies doesn't help either.

Speaking as someone with a pretty serious Neurological condition in which at a young age i am wheelchair bound.. There's something inside me telling me that there's a connection, and I know personally there are things I've learned about the mind body connection and the like that if seriously allowed to discuss and explore with others, there are answers there.. I feel like we should be exploring and listening to certain people about what knowledge they may unwittingly hold due to circumstances that seem to be fate given.

[@starshine9999]

In answer to the question why do we all perceive reality differently is because not one of us have ever had exactly the same experiences in life, everyone’s has been different therefore everyone’s perceptions are different and a good example of this is a car accident at an intersection. You have a different individual standing on each corner observe the accident but when each one gives their account of the accident they are all different. Is it because they saw it from a different point of view or angle? Or because all their perceptions are individually different? the questions could go on..food for thought..I liked the topic and some of the examples…love and light 🥰✨I might add it’s our perceptions that make us all so very interesting..

I agree! The story of rashomon teaches this.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

It helps to know or understand what one's personal reality is. And this too, is static.

[@nomad_333_]

We don't understand reality because we cannot comprehend it. The only comprehension we can come up with is based on ego or our perception of reality. This perception is based on mental and physical factors. This is the relative reality that we live in, as opposed to the absolute reality which is beyond comprehension by regular human minds. When we define reality based on perceptions, we must also realize that every other person is probably doing something similar but has a different view than us because of their mental and physical factors.

Amen! The elites have figured out the equation that controls human perception, from the media, paid online trolls that roam platforms, advertising, movies, and “education," etc. It all can be manipulated to control our reality. When we thought we were free, we thought we could change the world for the better in a small way.

@@kirstinstrand6292 I agree with that, but I also think human consciousness is connected, so we feel the pain of others through frequency.

I remember the first time I did a psychedelic drug and discovered that all the normal, boring everyday-objects by which we're constantly surrounded were actually bursting with unthought-of possibilities.

Words words words. He's not wrong, and that's precisely why not everyone understands what he said yet. 😅 A good video for rewatching. I might go on this ride again too. I enjoyed it. Have a good grounded look around you. It's amazing how much is missed by the senses with which so much of our sense of reality is brought to us. So limited. So look around you. See the constructs and exist there for a moment so you can breathe. See beyond the tangible and realize it's inception was but a dream. You're at home? In a building? In a room? Nature doesn't make that structure on it's own, someone had the idea first. The idea is living reality around you. I guess you could call it a dream home. Lol Every structure occurred with reasons and ideas behind it, a sort of thought breathed into the various converging dimensions where it blooms out. Look at your hand. How do the molecules decide to form this way? The underlying energy of thought, an essence flowing through neurons, and the mistake is thinking only neurons do this. Hehe Everything is but a dream that breathes. I walk through the buildings with sheer amazement, the same amazement as I have for the forest and the ocean. I walk through the halls of my mind while my essence of energy wanders the channels of this body and I feel both big and small. I pick one that calls me for meeting needs, but I do get to explore. I suppose I don't have a typical sense of reality in this body. It has synesthesia, so my sense can have some unusual... Perspectives. I can feel sound sometimes and vice versa. Can taste accents and some words always present themselves in very different things. Names too. I have stood in the shower and heard it sing. I have felt the pain of crashing drums. I have made love with an orchestra of violins sounding through my body. There is nothing about reality that ceases to be incredibly intimate. Breathing is but one of the most intimate things I do. The essence of all other things that air has come from going inside me and comes back out with a memory of me. Who even thinks of such things? I have experienced so much of reality that it caused pain and even seizures. I can't turn off reality, so I travelled it. I needed to find where I could exist harmoniously. I admit in times of pain I get as untethered as I can, but I do come back with some gentle persuasion. This is why music is very medicinal for me. It's also a vehicle of travel. Could you imagine sound having its own dimension? All things of element have a dimension if you want to consider what dimension could mean. I live where many converge. We all do. Some more aware of this than others. Without the convergence nothing could change. We live because of the most intimate harmony of essences in existence. I could be digressing, I might watch the video again. Keeping the address in my thoughts is not easy; a lot goes on between words. Thankyou for bringing this video to me today. I had a feeling it would be a good one.

A main problem from my point of view is, that most of us have been educated by a 3d coordinate system in terms of geometry. In chemistry a fourth dimension is described (not beeing time) . 3 dimensions showed their problems in aviation or space travel already. Albrecht Dürer for example described the fourth dimension in art pieces. So check out that fourth dimension I would suggest :) The fourth phase of water known as "liquid ice" would also be important. If you are able to observe the 4th dimension , you are in the 5th. It is body training from my point of view. As an audio engineer I would say : One can train his stereo hearing and seeing. One can train his "samplerate" and his "resolution"

The reason why our reality experiences differ is that our worlds are unique for each and every one of us. Our outer world is inner and we link together to a basic program. It is why you stand looking at light across the waters reflecting back at you and no one else and the people around you will see it only shining directly at them and not you or anyone else. It is why one person can see something and others can't, not until they 'tune' into you will they see what you see. We walk around thinking everyone sees what we see, but it is a big misconception. Depending on your awareness and open-mindedness will you see/experience other realms and other peoples created worlds. We are players in a super XBOX type game and like the gaming headsets we have today, this isn't real and it is manipulated by outside forces. forces outside of the game of life.
