Perfection Over the Illusion, Part I
This is Part I of a ten part blog.
In this series of ten blog posts beginning today, I will explore the concept that "we shape and create our reality and experiences by the thoughts we focus on." As well, I will give advice on how to master the thoughts that we have and thus create the life we want.
Usually we are quite unaware of the predominant thoughts we have. As well, we usually are unaware of the worldview and general belief systems we have.
Most people, without questioning, just follow the dominant thought patterns and worldview of their culture, country or family. There is little reflection about the beliefs that they hold or the way that they look at themselves and others.
Their worldview has been passed down for generations or it is a mish-mash of corporate- fed faux journalism that is often very disconnected from reality and is really just selling advertising. Unfortunately, most people just follow along, never questioning the dominant cultural beliefs, their lives, their own beliefs or themselves.
But as Socrates once said: "The life unexamined is not worth living."
It is a struggle and challenge to rise above the lowest common denominator thinking that is so dominant in our culture. As well, it is not easy to understand that our thoughts affect our reality; and that how our ego or "little self" interprets the events in our lives is never how our Soul does.
