What we BELIEVE we PERCEIVE! If it is our perceptions that bring our pain and suffering, then how can we change them to move from a powerless position, in which we feel like a victim at the mercy of the people in our lives, to an empowered and happy one, in which we take respon- sibility for our thoughts and behaviors, and choose to extend love? How do we accom- plish this task without having to wait for another person or the world to change?
A perceptual shift is choosing to see someone or a situation differently. It is see- ing through the behavior presented to us that appears attacking, rejecting, or depriv- ing. It is looking with X-ray vision to see that the undesirable behavior is only a person who is not accessing their true self. Since perception always includes interpretation, usually a judgment of some kind, then per- ception is not just a sensory experience, but includes thoughts as well and can therefore be changed.
The perceptual shift we need to make is quite simple, though very profound:
1. When we see fear instead of attack, we are no longer afraid, and we are able to tap into our inherent capacity to love or be loving.
2. If we do not perceive attack, we don’t have to mount our defenses. We know that displaced anger was just an expres- sion of fear, and there is no reason to get caught up in it.
3. We will know that when someone behaves in such bizarre ways, it only means that they do not know more ef- fective ways of getting past their fear.
The choice we have moment to mo- ment is between victimization or empower- ment; pain or joy; hell or heaven; illusion or truth; the ego or our True Self.
