This issue’s topic is “piercing illusions”. So are these illusions that are “piercing”, or are we being invited to “pierce” our illusions??? Hmmmm. Either way you look at it, we are being invited to address the concept of “illusions”. Webster says an illusion is a “misleading image, something that causes misinterpretation of its actual nature.” So what is the “actual nature” of anything which is perceived? Fast forward if you will from Webster to quantum physics. Amazing experiments have proven that we actually create what we are seeing. That the actual fact of perception changes that which is seen. That nothing is actual beyond the data given us by our sense organs as we translate vibration into sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste. We can all agree that eye witnesses seldom agree on much of anything! Each person saw what they saw in a unique way (not to mention the even more unique act of remembering). So what is “actual” and who “actually” saw it as it “really” happened”? Is there an objective “actually” or “really”? Fact is, there isn’t! So how can we “pierce illusions” when it’s all illusion! How do you get to what is “real” when we are constantly making it up as we go along? (Pause. Now before you go getting all confused and upset over all this uncertainty, be aware that we have all experienced enough cultural, familial, educational, and social shaping, that most of us can agree on what a tree is….or a car….or most anything! Thus we share enough of a common perceptual ground for effective interaction and worldly functioning. Whew!) Back to exploration of “illusion”. So I believe that the central question is this --- will you choose to perceive “piercing” illusions or “pleasing” illusions? Cutting, biting, loud, shrill? Or pleasurable, gratifying, delightful, joyous? It’s your choice! And modern science has proven that you are making these choices all the time in every moment and constantly creating the life you know as yours. This is powerful. This says that you have the power to create worlds --- yours, to be more accurate. What kind of world will you create? What will you choose to perceive? If we all truly understood how life really works, we would be foolish to create anything other than bliss. You do have this power. You are using it in every moment. How do you like your life? Your world? The people in it? You will “have it your way” as you cannot have it any other way! The question is --- what way will that be? Piercing or pleasing? Only you get to decide for you.
