Do you ever feel like reality is the product of your own perception?

Do you ever feel like reality is the product of your own perception?

[Mike]

I remember one of the topics of philosophy for ancient Greeks: why is the perception through our senses so good? They opined endlessly about the human eye vs. fish and birds, etc. and they had lots of breakthroughs in cultural benchmarks like art, and architecture, dance and music etc. to discuss. Seems like the answer to their question from a Kabbalist might be “Because you imagined the perception through our senses to be so good.” The Kabbalist might then ask: “Why is this perception so limited/programmed, and why are the inputs to this program so partial and so limited?” To which the Kabbalist might answer: “Because the Creator screened Creation from perceiving the Creator directly, so each shattered piece ultimately consciously chooses the Path of the Wisdom of Kabbalah to rejoin as One.”
I seldom feel like a solipsist, but I do have actual dreams with intricate plots and plot twists that surprise me in the dream. As the author of my own dreams, how am I surprised by the plot twists that I author? In waking hours I seem to agree on the nature and quality of reality in most daily activities with fellow humans/spiritual shards–although I recognize we don’t really experience the exact same taste, sensation, etc. I am thrown for a loop at the concept that my fellow humans/shards are really also projected by me outside of me and really not outside of me at all.

Yes. I agree that there is no objective reality. Everything in my realm is a product of the beliefs I made based on what I perceive through my senses, and project out onto a screen that I watch. They are all electrical signals firing in my neural network, so now I understand when Wayne Dyer said, “You’ll see it when you believe it.” And if I, the observer, affects what is being observed, then I can choose to adjust my perception to witness what I envision! The next step for me then is to be willing to be responsible for what I create. 🙂

i do, i find really interesting finding this kind of concepts that seems really modern in such a old knowledge

I have had many clues that this is so, specially when my humour changes according to my thoughts.

I do feel that way often. I also feel I have (inadvertently) discovered a “work around” to this concept of just giving really doesn’t work because there is really no one to receive.
Here is what I have found:
I am never happier than when I’m helping someone. Particularly, when I’m helping in some way in their healing process.
Since, I’m never happier than when I’m doing so this, the “giving” on my part is in reality (whatever that means) actually receiving! My “giving” as an act of receiving is so fulfilling to me that it is almost a selfish act!
At any rate, it works of me and I hope it will help others.
