We are responsible for the world we see. This may seem preposterous, but is inherently true. The fundamental law of perception is that we see what we believe is there, and we be believe it is there because we want it to be there. The world is formed by all of our perceptions of our experiences and interactions. It is comprised of the collection of thoughts, conclusions, and judgments we have made about everything, everyone, and every experience we have had in our life. Is it any wonder no two of us see the same world?
We choose to perceive something a certain way because we have made choices about what we believe to be true. We may have arrived at this conclusion in what seems to be a very rational way. But it is often only rational to us and those close to us who have agreed on certain perceptions. We often look at a situation and see it from our habitual way of thinking about life and so miss the larger picture. We perceive only from a narrow perspective, often ignoring the eyes of Spirit we carry within our own being. We are perceiving from a perspective of separateness, choosing to ignore the presence of Spirit within us.
Every thought, every perception is a choice. We choose either to perceive through the narrow, veiled sight of separation, or the vast resource of Spirit’s vision. God has given us the vision of Spirit s\o secure that it can never be lost, but we must choose to use that gift rather than our limited separated perception. In this world, both are perception, but the perception guided by the Holy Spirit perceives with the limitless resources and knowledge of God. We are an extension of God, inseparable from God, and so always have the resources of Spirit available to us if we will just use them.
The misperceptions we have made are nothing in God’s eyes. The path to correcting our perception begins in a willingness to let go of our perceptions and beliefs we have made up over time. God created us in Love, creating like God’s Self. Our true essence is God, is Love, and Love can create nothing except itself. If what we have made is not Love, it is therefore not real. Letting go of misperceptions and misbeliefs allows Spirit to show us Truth, to shift our perception to the clarity of God’s Love and power. We are freed from the prison of our misthoughts and find the glory of a world fills with inner peace and love. Make the choice today.
