 SEEING WHAT. WE BELIEVE- A HUMAN EXPERIENCE—OF SEEKING PEACE AND JOY

Nearly everyone  I know of a certain age—an age I’m pretty familiar with claims that February 9, 1964 they were seated in front of a television to witness the debut of John, Paul, George, andRingo.  Well... I’m not sure  everyone who says they  saw. This really did, and yet I do believe they actually believe they did at this point.  Are these people liars?—No—why?   wellthat’s simple.  Human beings especially when we aren’t living in the moment just don’t  pay attention.  We take in information filtered by  the things we think we should pay attention to and  in the context of what we believe we are about to see or what we should have seen.  Every.psych 101 student has seen the two faces or a vase picture right?  See the  picture above... and  well maybe you’ll say it’s both and not get too upset.  Why is it then many of us get so upset when  two or more of us see the same thing...live the same experience and assign two completely different  meanings?  

Seeking Peace and Joy is often  an invitation to assign alternate meanings and to experiment and to extract  lessons and wisdom from the multiple perspectives this offers.  It is possible to train your mind, heart, and soul to experiment. With different  viewpoints and then to  say. “Here is what I believe.”  It is easier to limit the. Scope of what you see by only looking. To prove  what it is. You believe—just watch any media—social or otherwise.   It is easy to be angered by those who have limited  what they are willing to see, and yet, maybe being sad  that so many people limit the beauty and depth of their. Experiences in such a way.   Perhaps if we all could  loosen up.on the label  mentality  people would  build flexible identities or at least flexible  processes used to create their identity.  Maybe then we could create expanded communities and accept  a broader range of purposes.  Imagine a world where  success was rarely measured by how much money one has or what work  one has chosen.  What might happen if the  most social status was given to people. Who were willing to ask the most interesting  questions or present the most  creative cultural symbols like music, dance, etc.  

So the server brings out the. Dessert  menu and your dinner companion  orders  the peach  cobbler and you order  double chocolate thunder cake.  Which of you ordered the wrong thing?  Neither, of course, because  different doesn’t have to be right or wrong in every single case now does it?   And if it does seeking peace and joy is going to  be a chore as we will be doing it with one eye shut, one ear plugged, no taste buds and reading only stereo instructions instead of enjoying the whole amazon bookdstore.  

Well... speaking on being. Open to something ... don’t forget to check out  this link... and create away!!!
