"The fire in the cave throws shadows on the walls. You will believe those shadows are real until you leave the cave and enter the light. More shadows will appear. Learn to adjust your perception as you move along through the illusions of life." ~ FMC
"We perceive the world through filters. Those filters are applied in childhood and are dependent on our surroundings: family, culture, education, locale, and so much more. Liken your perception as sand art that is a combination of beautiful layers of sand placed methodically one over another until you have the finished project. You see it,therefore you believe it. You created it, layer by layer, and perceive that this sand art is "the way" sand art looks. Then you are introduced to sand art on the beach: sculptures that defy imagination, or you watch Tibetan monks painstakingly create their phenomenal mandala sand art, and your perception changes. Your mind begins to believe that there is nothing the human mind cannot conceive and create. Your filters change, and with that your perception. Life is lived in the mind. Change the mind (the perception of what is) and your life will change. There is no hard and fast rule that holds you in a time, a place. What is is because of your created perceptions. Pull back the curtain, and see that the Great Oz is a snake oil salesman dealing in illusions." ~ Namaste! ~ Freda M. Chaney
