Do you believe in what you see and what you hear? Does how you're feeling change how the world appears?

Question

I've got twelve disciples and a Buddha smile
Garden of Allah, Viking Valhalla, I've got a pantheon of animals in a pagan soul
Vishnu and Gaia, Aztec and Maya dance around my totem pole. I've got celestial mechanics to synchronize my stars
Seasonal migrations, daily variations.
I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vows
Thoughts to keep well-hidden
Sacred and forbidden, free to browse among the holy cows.

That's why I believe?

Answer 1

Between the self and the Self lies an energy field clothed in every memory, every belief, every thought and emotion we've experienced and hung on to. What we see and hear is filtered through our energy and oftentimes it reaches our inner ear or eye tainted by our filtering mechanisms. To see or hear purely we need to step outside this clothing of energy imprints we wear or push aside this veil we create around our inner self and allow pure contact with what lies around it.

This is how our colors and beliefs color our world. They lie hovering around us until we set them free.

We can believe what we see and hear only to the extent that it registers true to us, always keeping in mind the veils and limitations we've placed upon ourselves.

Expand and the world expands with you :-) As we expand we discover the universe is continually doing the same.

Answer 2

The world is not subjective to how I feel.
It looks that way, my laughter can reflect laughter which brings laughter which reflects laughter.
I believe in what I know and what my heart feels.
What I see with my eyes is not real
What I hear with my ears is not real
There are levels of understanding, levels of listening, levels of knowing and the oscillation through the levels creates the juxtapose that is this space.
It is always interesting to bring the mind to a point to answer a specific question of another mind, it creates a warp for me, and feels quite odd. Also to answer a question, like this, sometimes the timing of where I am relative to the question feels like a "trip" to Sunman land.
Therefore, I probably don't make sense, and I sometimes find that when I go back and read my answer, its like, Oh, is that what I felt at the time.
As the moving hand writes, it heals that moment and moves through it.

Answer 3

I believe in what is in my heart. Every thought and feeling I have communicates energy, enhancing the essence that is my Soul. What I see and hear is influenced by this essence, this energy. Two people could hear or see the same thing, yet their perceptions could be completely different.

If I were in a joyful mood and watched a beautiful sunset, I would be moved and touched and filled with wonder. If I were in a very sad mood and watched that same beautiful sunset, I would be tearful, heavy hearted, wanting. So yes, how I feel changes how the world appears. (((Sunman)))

It is the individuality, the uniqueness within the Oneness, that determines our perception of what we see and hear. So yes, I believe in it, because it is part of the energy that is my Soul, and I believe in my Self.

Answer 4

If I'm trying to rhyme a meaningful word,
I remember all the sounds I've ever heard;
Pick among ideas with a sharpened eye,
Throw into verse the air in the sky.

Form creates a different feeling,
Causes nameless currents to start congealing;
Never do I think of facto ipso,
Unless I try to make it calypso!

A pagan soul stomps its ragin' sole
To currents of chaos with a metal bowl;
Clapping the hands and stickfighting,
Never let ideas form be alighting.

Refrain: Birds don't sit still but keep flying,
Ideas must evolve or our soul starts crying.
Color and form in verse is not lying,
Souls like their birds must keep flying...

These are some of my favorite things...rather have a beat than golden rings. Rather have night than a fancy kite; rather have a drum than a dozen plums (although I'll bet I could use them as musical instruments somehow).

This semi-rhymed morning ramble has been brought to you by an intensive spell with dead calypsonians, whether Shango, Shouter or Obeah...or just happy to be moving!

Answer 5

what i see and hear is seen and heard because i believe in it and its ability to be seen and heard.

really we have but one sense: feeling
:
we feel light bounce off our retinas
we feel sound reverberate our ear drums
we feel scent tickle our olfactory receptors
we feel flavors caress our taste buds

and we feel because we believe we can feel.
so how does what anyone feels change the world?
in more ways than we will ever know.
feeling is the only thing that changes the world, the world would in fact cease to exist if we all could somehow stop feeling.

remember this is a collective process. you may believe (or feel) that golden volkswagen beetles will fall from the sky, but then you also have convince the other people, birds, bugs, plants, lizards, microbes, groundhogs, gasses, dust, and the sky itself before it can actually happen.

Answer 6

I work very hard at reminding myself that what I see and hear is not accurate or real in any sense of the word.
Remembering this, especially when things are difficult, does change how I feel and how the world appears.

Answer 7

Zen master Xuedou addressed the monks, saying, “Even if you experience the earth shaking and the sky raining flowers, how can that compare to going back to the monk’s hall and building a fire in the stove?”

The master then left the hall.

Answer 8

What I see and what I hear are symbols to me. I see a yellow and black butterfly in front of me, and I think 'oh yes! Seeing all things as God (3rd eye yellow) through the root chakra filters (black)', and I merrily carry on with that contemplation.
My Divine nature speaks to me constantly in this way, as I live in the abstract, the archetype world where all things exist at many levels, spontaneously.

My experience of the depth of this fluxes with my depth of openness, and my ability to hold and maintain a particular state of walking transcendence. It is more real for me now than the rest.

It is as though the dust has been cleared from my eyes to see this way ~ the world is now so luminous and so mystical.....

and in this place of lucid mysticism, all things speak to me, with me, through me, and from me......

Answer 9

Yes, my emotions definately color my world. So, I have been searching high and low to learn how to deal with these human emotions so that they don't clog up the universal connections.

PS, saw you were a Rush fan. My husband is at the concert in Chicago tonight. Were your questions lyrics from a Rush song or some other song?

Answer 10

Yes I do belive in what I see and hear. See more then hearing. Yes feelings does change how the world appears. In my opinion anhway.
