Perception—Experience—Opinion.
Perception—Experience—Opinion.
These three things depend on each other.
Our experiences are a result of our perception, and that tends to produce opinions on the experience. But opinions are malleable things since they are just ever-changing judgments, classifications or descriptions of an experience based largely on a limited perception of the universe that generated the experience. Perception is a more solid grid through which our experiences flow, and this perception is slowly built up over time by varying opinions on one’s experiences. Experience is the thing witnessed and observed thru the lens of perception which has been grinded and polished by opinions of past experiences. If the experience is not in accord with the Truth, then modifications of the perception must be carried out by a change in opinions, even going so far (if necessary) as to eliminate opinion itself.
Opinion shapes Perception which produces Experience.
Change your life and therefore your world by first changing your opinion(s). This gradually changes your perceptions, which then allows a different (and perhaps more accurate) experience…of the Truth, of Life, of Reality, of everything.
If you have opinions that are of a universal character, then your perception will also become more wide-ranging. This produces a more accurate experience of the truth, life, reality, etc., for only when we allow our perceptions to extend outwards to include the whole universe can we then come to understand how the universe truly operates.
Opinions can be likened to mantras we repeat when we experience some event. One event produces one opinion and another produces a different opinion. The Key to experiencing the Truth is to observe thru an ever more accurate perception by doing one’s best to have no especial opinions about anything experienced. If one can meet all experiences equally, with no special opinions of one event being more significant (for whatever reason) than another (which would cause an opinion), being able to be even minded at all times, then one has arrived at a perception in accord with the Truth of what one experiences because opinions are kept to a barest minimum, or even so far as having no opinion at all.
Acquiring the Truth is a long process of refinement, but certainly not impossible.
