 Did you ever stop to wonder what makes life so seemingly chaotic sometimes? Perhaps you did, but did you also realise that perhaps the events that occur in your life aren’t so random. What might seem random to you; might be an ordered pattern of choices that have happened over a period of time, in other people’s realities, that suddenly coincide with your reality.Ok, bear with me on this one. So what I’m saying is that nothing is random. Imagine walking down the street one day, and you bump into that guy who you end up dating and even marrying. That chance encounter lead to a whole new life, a whole generation of things to come and happen, but was it random? You may well think so, but consider this hypothetical situation;That day, you had been thinking all along about making some changes, and as a result, when you picked up that call from your best friend, you mentioned these new ideas. Your friend then starts chatting about it and how you should read a certain personal development book, because her friend had recommended it. As a result of tapping into this common interest topic, you talk for 10 minutes long than you normally would, causing you to miss your usual train home. So you end up taking the next train home. On the way you stop by the book store to buy that recommended book, and seeing as the bookstore is right next to the supermarket, you also decide to pick up some bread for the next day. With you bread in hand and the new book, you rush home excited to get reading, and that’s when you bump into that guy, literally, bread and book get flung onto the ground.

 Everybody’s understanding of what is or isn’t real, is unique unto themselves. The way you might see an apple sitting on a table would be completely different to how I might see the same apple on the same table. Similarly the context of the statement must be placed in order to provide further meaning. The table could be in the middle of the desert or out on a spaceship orbiting Mars. The apple would look very different then. Of course the ultimate context is time, the same apple 100 years ago would be a gene structure in an atom on a apple tree somewhere and the same apple 100 years in the future would be dust, or a forest of apple trees.So what do I mean by perception of reality? Well it’s been scientifically shown that every second the human brain receives over 2 billion bits of data. This is everything you experience from the sounds you hear, things you see, food you eat, even down to the unconscious feelings you get whilst you sleep.If we were to store and process this amount of data, we’d go insane instantly. The way our brains manage this information is to filter out what our perceptual filters deem as unnecessary for us to know. In the end, we store and process only a tiny fraction of the data we actually receive.The question you might wonder about is how our filters are created? Well these are determined over time through our models of communication. They come from attitudes, beliefs, traditions, meta-programs, media, marketing, parental guidance etc. Read the rest of this entry »
