"Everything is as it Appears to Be"

Everything is as it appears to be. What? Are you kidding? No. I am not kidding. What else is your world if not what you are hearing, seeing, tasting, touching and smelling? You say that is a rabbit or that is a cat, and the dog is running the cat while the rabbit is taking a break. How do you know that? Because you perceive it to be so. Is it or is not not? It is because it is to you, and that is your world.

Illusions exist, no doubt. Just because someone resembles someone we know does not mean they are a person we know. We may call out to them thinking we know them only to discover they only look like someone we know. However, we cannot escape the truth that our belief about reality exists inside our senses, and so everything is as our senses tell us it is, until our senses gather data that further clarifies our reality.

If we change our senses, we change our word. If we change our thinking about the data our senses are bringing into our brain we change our world. And, we can do both of those things. Amazing really…. how powerful we are to arrange and rearrange our interior world. We construct a world that is ours and we can play the role we wish to play in this interior world. Amazing. Yet, so many think and feel "out of control."
