Perception
What we perceive is important to us because the individual is always the most important part of any story perceived. With this factually articulated, it is paramount that we observe ourselves and our thoughts not only for our well-being but for making a clear distinction between feelings and reality. The two are not as synonymous as we’d often like to believe. While many things can feel like facts, they are not. This attribute of all of us as humans must be carefully analyzed and observed at every turn in life as the smarter one is, the bigger the enemy exists in the brain. The focus must be on making distinctions to process what is being perceived because, without it, unintended self-harm ensues. The brain is not “like” a computer. It is the ultimate quantum computer with the ultimate computation. Accessing its computation from the energy each and every one of us is capable of to deciphering context situationally is limitless. Yet there are limits involved and ingrained based on everyone “feeling“ like they have to fit in (as opposed to being an individual that thinks for themselves and therefore comes to individual conclusions). As we can all see by the state of the world today and the clear patterns of the past (both in world orders and even the most unique cultures), people in general terms struggle to think for themselves. I express my thoughts on a myriad of topics to evoke observation of self. The reality is we are our best navigators of self. Nothing and no one external can help us like we can help us — not even God (which is why he helps those that help themselves). Our perceptions of things can often detract from the main points of life’s learning process and, in turn, detract from one’s quality of life. Therefore it is incumbent on the individual to not only define the “self” but navigate the self to allow perception not to dominate the mind but, instead, to help inform it. If you ask most people if they are healthy, they will absolutely say they are with no thought and very little analysis. That is because the perception of health in most is not one’s metabolic markers but how one feels day to day with no accurate measurement to verify the “all good” feeling of health. Heath isn’t simply a feeling. It’s a full-time job both mentally and physically that most don’t even know they have to work for. This is one of many misnomers that clearly demonstrate that perception is not reality. The cruel nature of reality rarely measures up to how we as people feel about reality.
