What we believe creates our preceived reality, true or false?

Question

Please explain why?

Answer 1

Everything we believe creates our reality sort of like a box, then the lid of that box gets blown off, and our reality changes. Even this question creates certain expectations and sets up a structure for the way we should perceive things. I still get the feeling that we exist within a box, contained within another box, etc. I was watching Superman Returns yesterday (a movie that's quite boring actually), but I couldn't help thinking what if we all have the power of Superman. What if we all had the power to fly or the power to lift a mountain?...and then another question comes to mind: Why have we collectively chosen this reality which seems to be limiting?

Answer 2

I think so. If you look for the bad side of things, you will surely find it, because that is where you are looking. If you look for the good side of things, same deal. It's like if you stop at a scenic overlook with a companion, and you enjoy the view, and the air, and your companion is missing all that thinking about how much the gas cost to get there, and looking at things like that someone left litter around..... you believe that you went to see a mountain view, while your friend is busy believeing that our ecology is going to heck. Both beliefs are valid, but you're having a heck of alot more fun!

Answer 3

There are two answers:

1. There is what we perceive and
2. There is what is real.

A person can say they don't believe in gravity while they are walking on the ground. But put that person up 5 stories and have them test that theory.

They can still say on the way down that they don't believe in gravity because ignorance can't be saturated. But when impact occurs, the gravity of the error in judgment sets in.
