Reality is a Myth

Rigid belief is a model of the world that creates mental dysfunction. ~Mark Joyner

What you believe to be true, the mental construct that comprises your ‘the real world,’ is based not only on the limited information from your senses, but also on a smorgasbord of beliefs, ideas, theories, and musings. As a matter of fact, isn’t it true that you have even discovered, after the fact, situations and circumstances when your beliefs have had absolutely no basis in actual reality, even though you may have acted as if they did. Comb your memory banks and see how many of these experiences you can just rattle off.

If you also do the ‘chicken or the egg exploration” as to what came first, you’ll notice that most of what you believe to be true and YOU isn’t! What you consider to be YOU is a collection of beliefs, personas and canned collection of behaviors that you have acquired over time, somewhat like your wardrobe. At least you change your wardrobe seasonally and will even donate unused items to your local charities. When was the last time you did this with your perception of reality? When was the last time you decided to upgrade your version of what’s true?

So, what to do then? If who you are and what you believe your reality to be are not so, then what do you do? How do you proceed? How do you determine what’s real?

This is where the cosmic smile rides in like a tsunami . . . Go ahead! Just let the corners of your mouth lift and spread wide open. You can even let loose some cackles.

There’s good news and bad news. First, the bad news: it’s all a story, a fabrication, a woven tale: Religion, government, school, marriage, mortgages, etc. It’s just that groups of beliefs, or models, have reached critical mass from SO many people buying into the constructs. The specific constructs aren’t intrinsically true, they’re a mass agreement.

The good news is “It’s ALL made up!” so take out your wand and start weaving your own magical tale! How do you begin? You question, you explore. You unhook, you detach, and you create space around everything. You begin to listen from a deeper space, the inner space of YOU. You expand your capacity to sense, to feel and to KNOW your own TRUE. You step out of the box and live dynamically from your own authority. You say YES to your vision and inner rumblings! You act upon the true rhythms pulsing through your being. You access the fresh, a livening NOW.

Let that determine the roll of the dice, not what someone else has dictated for you. Don’t conform, question . . . ALL of it!
