We are constantly creating our world. And that creation is the result of what we think, which sometimes transforms into words we verbalize and sometimes into actions we take. In turn, our thoughts are strongly conditioned by the beliefs we learned in childhood and other new ones we incorporate from our environment.
We have a mistaken perception of the world influenced by our beliefs. Metaphorically speaking, it is as if we were constantly wearing “perceptual glasses” that color what our physical senses perceive with the color of our beliefs or thoughts.
Our perception is an interpretation. Hence, it is practically impossible to perceive with certainty what is happening outside, as it is a reflection of our inner state.
To be freer, to be able to take off our “perceptual glasses,” we would have to start rethinking each and every one of our beliefs, since they are not ours, they are inherited or acquired.
We can live more consciously if we take into account that what we see is not really so.
