We’ve all heard the saying, “Perception is reality.” It’s true that reality is unique to each individual, but perception is not reality in actuality. Rather, perception is projection. Many people have different experiences of the same event. So what determines someone’s perception?
Attracting Happiness and Abundance through Our Powers of Perception
One of the Laws of Supreme Influence, Perception is Projection presupposes a tendency to observe current events as they unfold through mental filters and sensory lenses colored by previous experiences. When we are fully conscious, we can choose our experiences.
Most of us have been hurt by a business or personal relationship. When we enter a new relationship full of possibility, often we subconsciously project previous challenges onto the new relationship. We are more empowered when we recognize every opportunity as a fresh start, free of limiting beliefs and perceptions.
Our expectations for ourselves and others determine our results – life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. For example, in controlled studies for new pharmaceutical drugs researchers determine the percentage of people who would heal without the actual drug by using a placebo, or sugar pill. Amazingly, these placebos commonly “cure” participants at a rate of greater than 40%! These participants enter the study with a clean slate, believing that they will be receiving a promising new drug that will heal them of past ailments. Interestingly, no drug works 100% of the time; only a 60%-70% success rate is often enough for federal approval.
Imagine if we could harness the power of the placebo to heal in our everyday life. What if we believed that certain things were going to work, and that we aren’t tied to past patterns? We can project new empowering beliefs into happening!
Aren’t possibilities infinite? Is it not possible for us to gain greater wealth than we currently have? Is it not possible that the next person who walks into our life might somehow be able to help us increase our wealth? By opening ourselves to the possibility that each person is capable of helping us, we are allowing those people to be of help, rather than limiting them to fulfill negative expectations. They might even help in unexpected ways.
Is it not possible to have healthier relationships? Is it not possible to move past any ailments or injuries from which we currently suffer and into a healthier mind, body and spirit? Is it possible that the next person that we talk to might be able to help us move in these directions by facilitating the healing process emotionally, mentally, socially, physically or spiritually?
Believe that what you desire is attainable, and that every person has the possibility of helping you move closer to your goals and objectives. Most people go through life never awakening to the power of their own perceptions.
We have everything to gain and nothing to lose by believing that life is, despite temporary obstacles or intrusions, always improving and everyone we interact with can help.
