Written by Marvell Lawson, “Clouding reality with perception” When you are conceived, you already possess all that is necessary for your future success. When you are still in your parents’ wombs, you inherit from all of your ancestors the knowledge, fears, intellect, and instincts that are necessary for your continued existence. Consider the implications. Examine your appearance in the mirror. Your forebears, as well as the archetype of your whole family line, are the source of your physical characteristics, including the color of your hair and eyes, as well as your height and build. Everything that makes you who you are, from your introverted or extrovert personality to your fear of heights, was given to you the instant a sperm cell entered an egg and began the process of cell division, which continued until you were created. If we have the same appearance as our ancestors, then it comes to reason that we also have the same thoughts and feelings as them. The realization that we enter this world with a fundamental structure already imprinted in our cells would lead us to the next step of understanding that the way we learn is by associating the new information that we receive from our five senses and our emotions to that, which is imprinted in us at the time of our conception. Children are not born with a clean slate. In point of fact, infants are born knowing the solutions to a good number of the problems that adults face as they mature. Newborns are trained, conditioned, and brain washed to forget what they know so that they may be indoctrinated into a society that is made up of individual perspectives. This allows the babies to be indoctrinated into the society. We are indoctrinated to have no concept of reality from the moment we are born. Once we are able to communicate verbally, the only thing we remember is what the “meaningless” words stand for, and we start to form a new reality depending on how our surroundings have changed. Our parents instruct us on how to navigate this new world, but perhaps more importantly, they show us the things that are important not to forget. This is something that society endorses. As we become older, our experiences shape the way we see the world around us. Everyone has their own unique perspective, and as a result, everyone lives in their own unique world. Many people have trouble understanding what this means at first, but think about what follows. There is only one perspective from which we are able to comprehend things, and that is our own. No matter how much we try, it is impossible for us to see things from the perspective of another person. It is impossible for us to have a thorough understanding of what another person is contemplating unless we have the ability to telepathically peer into their minds. Even yet, the issue remains of whether or not we would grasp the sensation or the way the senses experience. Because everyone of us has a unique way of seeing the world, we are only able to comprehend our very own feelings and sensations. The availability of information is not the challenge we face; rather, it is the manner in which that knowledge is disseminated. How is information sent, how is it received, and how is it perceived when it is received? What is it that our knowledge is built on? upcoming author of a book titled “small business superstar speaking secrets.” professional speaker and communication coach that works with people and companies who want to successfully give winning speeches and presentations with confidence; and communicate more effectively to expand their company, earn more money, and develop professional reputation.
