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?

[Margaret]

I have always felt that reality and what most people call truth, is simply a matter of perception. Even as a child I believed this. I remember as a young teen watching Akira Kurosawa’s 1950 film, RASHOMON, and being utterly fascinated with how each person’s telling of what happened were correct based on their perception of the murder, yet reality was beyond each individual’s “truth”. I even used to get into a bit of trouble in my science classes, because I would insist that scientific laws were “true” only in the world we are able to perceive, which means things like the law of gravity, etc are correct as we perceive the world, but isn’t necessarily “reality” in its truest sense. I was absolutely thrilled when I started reading books on quantum physics! Needless to say (with the exception of my mother and grandfather), everyone thought I was a very strange child.

Yes which is why siblings recall growing up and family events so differently. It’s down to our perception, perspective and beliefs. These influence how we interpret our reality from the reality we all exist in outside of the box

I was not aware of that, only after I began to study Kabbalah is that I realized it.

It’s is hard. We are conditioned by our 5 senses. Sometimes I have a glimpse of it.

I must admit I don’t have the perception I created this reality.

Yes this world’s reality/perception  is/was the limited egotistical  understanding I’ve had. The tug of the spark and push of the suffering  was there,  I simply didn’t get it. Now my environment allows a brighter spark and my exposure to Kabbalah is wonderful. Great teacher, books, and group.
