As humans doing, we spend a great deal of our lives accumulating information, as if we only need to find that perfect piece of information to make everything right. Another belief, perspective, interpretation, opinion, and meaning. We will then have the life weāve dreamed of!
We feel we need to establish the best āmodelā around which to build our ārealityā. We want to find something to anchor ourselves to! Something neat and tidy, so we know when something fits our model and is to be accepted, or doesnāt, and needs to be rejected. So we can stay in control and feel secureā¦and our Mind loves doing this!
However, if we get quiet and still, we will discover itās far more revealing to sincerely look at what we think is true, and see where it just might not be as true as we think.
The world is the way I tell myself it is, but how much of what we tell ourselves is really true?! By contemplating this, we get to satisfy our desire to get connected to something deeper, beyond our subjective thoughts, feelings, and judgements.
Who are we really? Notā¦Who do we think we are based on our own past memories, opinions of others, interpretations, beliefs, perspectives, and meanings we were given when we were young, and have accepted and adopted along the way.
This is all the ācontentā we put within a framework we call Bob, Sharon, or Jim. It all came from other people, and interpretations and meanings we assigned along the way. Could we have chosen other interpretations and meanings?!
So⦠Who are we... Really?
To answer that, we need to contemplate, āWhat is untrue about all those things weāve held as absolutely true?ā āIs what we believe really true?ā āIs there a deeper connection to be made where the feeling of always being at odds with things, and feeling thereās something wrong here disappears?ā
So looking at what is untrue gets us a lot closer to what is really true. Something deeper and in touch with our True Nature. Rather than just adding more ācontentā, we need to change the ācontextā through which we see our world.
As Anais Nin said, āWe see the World the way we are, not the way it is.ā Wayne Dyer agreed when he said, āChange the way you see the World, and youāll change the World you see.ā
