Perception is bigger than Reality - Page 3

Perception is that the sun goes round the earth.

Reality is the other way.

Also we see the stars in the sky, but in reality some may not exist anymore as they could have been burnt out. Light takes too long to reach us.

But knowing reality is not enough, we must know why and how come it happens that way.

Knowing the Truth and experiencing the Truth is different.

I like this!


I don't think perception is bigger than reality in all cases. It depends what you are taking about. If you are talking about circumstances, perhaps yes, because your view of things can drastically change how things happen for you! Woh Kehte Hai Na: "If you think you can win, you can... If you think you can't, you definitely can't!" But for durable realities, they'll only remain so! Like because people BC thought that the earth was flat pizza-shaped didn't mean it actually was. That's why I like the above definition of terms, because as Usne states, ultimately, you direct towards the reality upon discovering things! Before that, everything actually only is perception! 😉

What if one loses but still perceives themselves as the winner? Certain folks are known to be delusional and their delusions are based on their perceptions which, they feel, is their reality. In that case - perception certainly precedes reality.

Reality is relative and is always based on the perception. Therefore, reality will always be subordinate to perception because it changes based on one's perceptions which change based on one's circumstances.

While we have no control over the circumstances, we definitely can control the choices we make given a certain set of circumstances. Our choices are dependent on our beliefs. Hence, I feel, belief is the most powerful of all as it helps us make our own reality - be it actual reality or delusional reality. At the end of the day, everything boils down to belief.

Ah Shikhoo all humans are two arms, two legs, two eyes etc. Basically no different physically. Reality could be somethings else.

At times when we perceive something as more than the reality it may become true and exceed the reality. This is called Faith ( sometimes faith in a certain Guru) works wonders that exceed the Guru's powers.,
