something very interesting......

Dear all,
it is said that the perceived world is a reflection of what you are inside.
i'll just give an example - when you look at a glass with 50% water in it, do you think its half full or half empty? each one of us reacts to the same situation in a different way, why? this question has always fascinated me. In search of an answer, I came across something interesting, so sharing it with you, happy reading.........


The Changing World

Illuson is an error of the perception and knowing illusion as illusion is knowledge. Our experience of the world is based on our perception. Since every perception is erroneous, the world is an illusion. Experiences are based on perception. The one who experiences is the only reality. Look for the seer, the one who experiences, in between the experiences. Every experience leaves a residue that clouds the intellect. Wake up this moment. shake your head of all past experiences and look at the pure Being that I am that you are.
Question - "how do you distinguish the experience from the one who experiences?"

Are you really here? are you listening? now close your eyes and see who is listening, who is questioning, who is sitting and who wants what. who is confussed? This is the one who experiences.

That explains alot, our media is a classic example of this. We make an understanding about a situation from what we see, or based on someone elses account. with the invasion of 24x7 news chanels we perceive our world to be based on facts from these chanels. Now every reporter has a perception of the situation right, but we beleive in what he sees as the truth and thats not it, we make a perception of the perception and share it with all.
can you imagine what a big lie all that is? I mean yoU are lying all the time cause you dont really know the truth, how can you? cause you will know the truth when you experience it.
my words may sound wierd to some of you, for many of you who have experienced will know. I felt the same sometime ago, but now with experience I feel different. My world has truly changed.Hope that is some thing to chew about.
