What Is Reality?
Ed Mills’ blog post, Perception Becomes Reality struck a chord with me. He says:
The more I explore the Law of Attraction the more I come to see that what I call reality is nothing more than my perception of what is happening around me.
The Wachowski brothers, in their movie The Matrix, have Morpheus answer Neo’s question, “Is this real?” in this way:
What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about your senses, what you feel, taste, smell, or see, then all you’re talking about are electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
Your reality is what you say it is, what you believe it to be. People use the phrase “get real” to goad you into accepting their version of reality–of what is possible and what isn’t. But we know that anything is possible.
Don’t we?

I guess the trick is learning to create the reality we want to have around us. I haven’t learned the trick, and the result has been pretty uncomfortable.

Suzy,
The trick is in learning to interpret your reality the way YOU want it to be.
You see things, but what do they MEAN to you? This is what you can change. It’s the half-full/half-empty glass question.
Tony Robbins’ Awaken the Giant Within explores this in depth. If you haven’t read it yet, I encourage you to.
Also, Bob Doyle, in Wealth Beyond Reason, reminds us that as we move toward conscious creation, the path may seem rocky, especially if you have a talent for creation in a short timeframe. The changes necessary to get from ‘here’ to ‘there’ may be major and abrupt, and may even seem negative in nature–or ‘uncomfortable’, as you put it.
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for visiting!
