perception: whose?

Good Morning Everyone!

Recently I had two opportunities to realize how much our laws bind our movement based on someone else’s perception. The first was a class given at Akron University on federal labor laws. The second was a training being given for substitute teachers here in Medina County. What was startling to me was how fear-based our laws are and how they bind our Natural Response to life. The most obvious one is all the training on sexual harassment, which is totally based on the perception of the person who perceives harassment and has nothing to do with someone’s intention.

If you interview a group of people who have witnessed the same event, you will get that many versions of what happened. Why? Because everyone has their own “learned filters” of human mind. This is the entire study of psychology, the pathology of the human mind which is infinite in its permutation and mutations. Two children can witness the same event in childhood, one goes blithely along his/her way unscathed, the other spends 10 years in therapy years later trying to get over it. Why one is affected and the other is not?

Laws based on perception then cater to the individual’s false beliefs, or mis-perceptions. Explained in terms of the Law of Attraction, what you believe and think is what you will gather to you time and again to prove to your human mind self that you are right. For example life is unfair, men are predators and you’re the victim. If you believe this “fact”, you will indeed prove yourself “right,” because the Law of Attraction will match your vibrational countenance containing this belief by sending you incident after incident where you are in fact the victim. This continues until you are so sick of being the victim, that you take the time to change that belief and stop playing the role. Once you’ve done the inner work and shifted that belief into one that says you are powerful Creator in the world and safe with yourSelf, then you will gather to yourself circumstances and events with no hint of victimhood or threat. It is Law.

The entire process of the spiritual journey and a life transformation is about leaving these false premises behind, replacing them with new beliefs so that we no longer “see through a glass darkly”. Life transformation is about changing this beliefs in the direction of Who You Really Are – powerful Creator of your entire life experience and ultimately realizing that you are in Well Being, if you so believe. Here at Applied Spirituality this is what we do: help you shift out of the old, limiting beliefs and free yourself to live your best life through ongoing group coaching and books with online courses.
