Choice of Perception

   Where we choose to be affects how we are viewing events that are taking place  externally or within us.  As each of us watch the same action unfold, we will all have a different viewpoint of what transcended.  So who is right?  Nobody.  Our ego may think otherwise.  This is our point of perception and we can be very accurate.

    We may be engaged in being in the role our ego wants us to be in.  For example, viewing events from the role of victim will colour those events to support that view point.  The same actions viewed from the role of rescuer are coloured to the same degree only differently.  We can choose many different perspectives and roles to view events from. 

    Viewed from only one angle,  our understanding is limited.  This causes us to see things with tunnel vision, having our opinion reinforced by that role that wants to be acknowledged.  The emotion coming from that role towards that perspective reinforces that opinion.  These roles, are not interested in seeing things from a divine perspective or big picture.  The information coming in is coloured, like a filter on a camera, the filter being the role we are engaged in.  Being centred is a way of reducing those filters to their minimal effect.  Viewed from the centre both perceptions can be understood or accepted as well as having a much clearer vision of the big picture.   From the centre, we have access to the divine perspective, and this is where true awareness comes from.  This awareness is often beyond words or reason. 

    From awareness we have an opportunity to choose in a way that is beneficial to all aspects of our self.  Many judgements come from viewing things from a limited perspective.  These judgements cause us to focus, becoming myopic, supporting the judgements and reinforcing them with emotional energy.  And that makes it more difficult to rest at ease in awareness, the centre.   Focus requires much more energy than awareness, and we eventually get tired of that perspective.  Choose awareness, to be centred and you will have much more energy and less drama.
