A Mind Power Revelation

We see the world as we want to see it. What we see with our eyes is simply an illusion; what a specific part of our brain interprets, and presents to us, from the photons it receives. (For more information about the power of perception, check out this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqnEGu8VF8Y ...the rest of this post will probably make more sense if you view this, though it's not essential)

"You attract to you the predominant thoughts that you're holding in your awareness, whether those thoughts are conscious or unconscious." - Michael Bernard Beckwith

"Your life is a mirror of the dominant thoughts you think." - Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

If we accept for the present, and for this reading, that reality is an illusion and what we see, hear, taste, feel and smell is an interpretation by our brain, then it makes perfect sense that what we think will be reflected again in our reality. For instance, if we dislike a certain food on first tasting it, from then on whenever we see that food we will perceive the image of something negative. Our values, beliefs and previous experiences determine how we interpret what we see in reality.

Unfortunately, as human nature renders us generally fearful of the unknown, rejection and failure, we are somewhat programmed to perceive many objects and situations fearfully, consequently causing us to shy away from reaching our full potentials.

Why, then, is it so difficult for people to change their ways of thinking? Is it simply that, as we fear so many things that could impact us negatively, it is easier to concentrate on these things to prepare ourselves or to avoid disappointment? The problem with this is, while the bigger disappointments *may* be avoided, negative thoughts will eventually accumulate and could have worse affects.

The most important point here is, our thoughts are what we become.
