Insight – The World is Our Mirror
Mirrors don’t lie. They don’t judge. They don’t have opinions. They simply reflect the image that is in front of them. No right or wrong about that… just the way it is.
Life is like that, too. What we see in the world around us is a reflection of what we are thinking – our beliefs, perspectives, expectations. Nothing can show up that is not within our current understanding of the world. The “real” world is literally a figment of our mindset. Years ago, nobody believed that humans could run a 4-minute mile… until one athlete believed he could and he did. Now we all know it is possible and runners prove it at track meets around the world every year.
As individuals, we are influenced by our myriad of beliefs about people, places, and events in our lives. These beliefs create our unique viewpoints which in turn influence our experiences in life. The world that each of us sees is a mirror image of what we believe is possible and probable at our deepest level of understanding. That means that there is no objective reality. Not one real world that everyone sees and agrees on. No real material world that exists as the absolute truth. That’s why it gets so confusing at times. ” He said/ she said” can be true for both of them because each person is reporting from their own unique perspective.
This realization is mind-blowing and scary, because it shakes the foundation of what we have previously been taught by those who came before us. Our predecessors presented the story of life as they understood it, but now quantum physicists have expanded our perspective with a new vision. People once believed the world was flat until they learned differently. We are on the cusp of a new understanding about the world. With the knowledge that we create our own reality, we have the power to change our lives. The possibilities for health, wealth, satisfying work, and meaningful relationships are endless. The only limitation is our imaginations. We are leading-edge pioneers and our minds are the new frontier.
