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?

[Dory]

of course. I feel like I know nothing else. Sometimes I ask the younger generation about those video games they play and ask them if that’s the real world and are we just players in a big game.

Yes! Sometimes I get so involved with my reading that I am not aware of where I am. When someone enters the room, I am overwhelmed and startled. When I meditate on the porch and listen to the wind and watch the trees dance with the rhythm of the wind, and I hear the birds singing, I am no longer here in my present state, but, yet I am. I just felt that I was in a different reality. Several times when my husband is driving through a most beautiful place, I have felt that I was in another world (wonderful feeling) but it felt like a different reality. I’m not sure if these are feelings of perception, but I did feel something different in each event.

Which reality do you mean? The true or the false one? I wouldn’t say “feel” but “realize”. The “reality” reflects my state of mind and mood, on which I then react – this leads to a kuddelmuddel. Could we just turn off this kuddelmuddel called perception and turn on recognizing? I think it is called revelation too?

I normally do on an every day basis, based on my corporal senses But then I learn through psychedelic experiences that the real reality is much much more real than the reality. I am in on a regular basis so many more dimensions, much more beautiful, endless possibilities, and understanding.

yes sometimes, where I can choose.

no another times when I can see all is happening

No, I feel that my perception of reality determins my experience of it, and that my perception is determined by my own inner state wich I have the oppertunity to learn to control. However, I do feel that everything that “comes my way” and the things I “choose” to persue are entirely controled by some upper force with the purpose to teach me about who, what and why I am. This upper force seems to operate according to my level of being and shows me what I need and what I should not engage in, in order for me to advance towards spirituality. So, you can say that I feel that reality somehow reflects my entire being (including what I have revealed and attained so far, and what I have yet to reveal and attain in the future), but I still do not yet agree that I produce reality because I perceive it.
