Shaping Your Reality through Conscious Perception
Have you ever wished to see life through a different lens, where everything around you aligns with your desires, preferences, and dreams? Imagine the power of living in a reality that reflects only what you want to experience. The good news is, this isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s a practice you can cultivate. By consciously deciding to see only what you want, you can shift your life toward more peace, joy, and fulfillment.
The idea is simple: you can start to see only what you prefer, and in doing so, change the way you experience life. This isn’t about ignoring reality or pretending challenges don’t exist; rather, it’s about focusing your attention on the aspects of life that match your highest desires. By doing so, your life begins to reflect those preferences more and more.
Change Your Perception, Change Your World
When you focus on what you want to see, your subjective experience of life changes immediately. You no longer base your feelings, decisions, and actions solely on external circumstances. Instead, you choose to respond based on how you want to feel. Imagine a moment where instead of reacting to stress or negativity around you, you stay grounded in your chosen state of peace or joy. By doing this, you’re no longer letting outside events dictate how you feel.
This process starts with identifying what you truly want to experience. Take a moment to reflect: If you could only feel one emotion, experience one way of being for the rest of your life, what would it be? Would it be peace? Would it be love? Would it be abundance? Once you’ve identified that feeling, start to focus on it. Visualize it. Feel it.
Visualize Your Preferred Reality
Visualization is a powerful tool that helps turn your focus into reality. When you take time to picture your ideal state of being—whether it’s happiness, success, or serenity—you start to feel that way. The more you feel it, the more you become it. And as you become it, you start to act in ways that reflect this chosen state. This change in your actions will begin to influence your environment, relationships, and circumstances.
In the Bible, we are reminded of the power of perception in Proverbs 23:7, which says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” This means that what you focus on inwardly becomes your outer reality. By choosing to see only what you want, you become the architect of your life, aligning your world with the desires of your heart.
Becoming the Center of Your Vortex
Think of yourself as the center of a vortex, with everything else revolving around you. At the center is your chosen frequency, your preferred way of being. Everything in your life—people, experiences, opportunities—starts to align with that energy. When you consistently choose to see only what you want, the world around you begins to shift.
Of course, this doesn’t mean ignoring the world or refusing to face difficult situations. Instead, it means not letting external events control how you feel. You can acknowledge challenges but choose to focus on what uplifts you. This is where true freedom lies—when you can see the world through the lens of your desires, not your fears.
Anchoring Yourself in Your Preferred State
The more you practice this, the easier it becomes. At first, it might feel strange to ignore the noise of the world and focus solely on what you want to see. But as you continue, you’ll notice how much more peace, joy, and fulfillment you feel. You’ll also notice that the people and situations around you start to change. Relationships improve, new opportunities arise, and life becomes more aligned with your deepest desires.
“Choose to focus your attention on what you want to experience, and the world will start reflecting that back to you.” — Unknown
How to Start Seeing What You Want
Here’s a simple practice you can try today:
- Take a deep breath and relax.
- Ask yourself: “If I could experience one state of being for the rest of my life, what would it be?”
- Visualize this state of being—feel it, embody it, and hold onto that feeling.
- As you go through your day, remind yourself to focus on this state whenever challenges arise.
- Repeat this practice until it becomes natural to see and feel your preferred state of being.
By making this a daily practice, you’ll find that your life becomes more harmonious and aligned with your deepest desires. The key is persistence and a willingness to choose your perspective, regardless of what’s happening around you.
Spiritual Reminder
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna, “A person is made by their belief. As they believe, so they are.” This wisdom mirrors the idea that our reality is shaped by our perception. By choosing to believe in your preferred state of being, you begin to create it in the world around you.
