Outside the Blur

In the past years I have studied the complex phenomenon of the perception of the reality, the first subject being myself.

Have you observed how your mood makes you see the world different ?
Thoughts and feelings modify your current perception of things, your own reality changes accordingly.

If you have a good feeling and positive thoughts about something, everything you’ll perceive will be nice, the world will look better in your eyes. If a fatal event happens to you it will give some negative reactions, negative thoughts and bad feelings. This event will make you suffer, feeling very badly inside you, and…in consequence, the perceived reality will change and you’ll tend to see everything in bad colors, in bad perspective. The world and everything will look bad into your eyes. This is because the perceived reality it is not the actual reality. Your perceived reality it’s only your own reality, different and sometimes very very different than the actual reality.

Everything we see, we perceive, everything we judge, we feel are just perspectives, views, moments which are relative to you, to you being. You are very influenced by what is happening to you and you can’t escape from your limited perspective. You are just a human being amongst other billions with limited perception of things.

So…everything is happening to you is not final. Because you are very subjective, because your view, your feelings, your knowledge is relative to your inner world it can be changed. It is just a temporary perception of things, and things can always change if you look different to them. We see this world NOT HOW THE WORLD REALLY IS, we see the world as we thought and feel it is.

In consequence, nothing is final, everything can be changed, everything is a process which continues to flow, until the end of your life. Maybe you know the famous words : “This is not like it seems”. In fact, nothing is what it seems. So, if it not what it seems, we can make it to be what we want. We are the power, the power lies into us.

Happiness is not final, sadness is not final, unhappiness is not final, everything changes. We live in a Universe where everything changes permanently, over and over again. We are living in a river which flows and has cascades with big falls and where we fall and we can’t control what is happening to us. The river is very powerful and we depend completely on it. It can also kill us if we are not aware. But the river also has slight  movements when it arrives to a straight surface, like a plain. There we can action, we have the possibility to make our own choices and control in a large amount how we navigate. This is how life it is. And you must also be aware of what choices you do in these moments. You are floating peacefully in the river, without being disturbed, you know that you can turn left or right and even stop and explore the near land. This was an simpler image of life to show you some aspects that you may not consider them.

Life is a process, it’s happening right now, into you, near you, everywhere. It is not final, everything happens now, you must feel the moment in everything you do, everything you accomplish. Life is not good or bad. Life is just how it is. If you feel bad is not your fault, if things look bad and things go bad…it’s not your fault. Your fault is when you do nothing to stop bad things happening into your life. Attitude differentiate smart people from stupid people. Attitude differentiate rich people from the poor ones. And attitude differentiate happy people from unhappy people.

Things can always change so be the one who has the capacity to make them better.

We are nothing but a small flash in the Universe if we look from the perspective of our lifetime.

We are nothing that a mass of atoms combined in an intelligent way, complexly structured in molecules, cells, tissues, organs and so on.

We are limited in our perception, our feelings, our thoughts, our thinking.

We are nothing that a living being, an independent organism who can make some own decisions and which can perturb a small part of the Universe near us.

But we are humans, we have consciousness and we have the power to make decisions. We have a good degree of freedom, and a good power to do some things. We have evolved.

Even if we are so small, we can still do lots of things around us, things who can improve our lives and the lives of the ones near us.

We must know that we are just nothing, if we don’t learn how to share a small part of us. This small part can be anything. It can be intelligence, this is when you teach somebody your experiences and your knowledge.

It can be love, when you decide to share it with someone that you find to be very special for you.

It can be materialistic, if you have more money that you need and you want to help others who need it more than you.

In any way you do share, you will be a part of something. You will become important for others and you’ll be appreciated.

Good luck then.
