The World is What We Believe It to Be

Imagine that you are stuck in a traffic jam. If you have no important and pressing goal in mind, you can contemplate the matter in a relaxed fashion. Admittedly, if your work, relationship or even someone’s life were at stake, the matter would look quite different. For one person, a traffic jam can be a saving grace, for another a complete catastrophe.

From a Buddhist point of view, every situation, event and object is essentially empty. Everything gains meaning by our contemplating it. Among the Huna this translates as ‘the world is what we think it is’. Our world is subjective.

It is clear to us all that the world is far more than we, with our limited senses, can perceive. The ranges and perceptive spectra of our eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue are limited and individually different. Simultaneously, our brain filters only that which appears important to us and our cultural conditioning from the flood of information and mob of data reaching us. The world works on us, and we sense reality as a result of our past experiences. This past, our thoughts and feelings, our learnt opinions and their interpretations, all form our world. From truth there is formed a reality – one that operates on us.

You are today where your thoughts

have brought you, and tomorrow you will be

where your thoughts will bring you.

James Allen

With every thought and every word we create our future. If we think lovingly and sympathetically, we are the co-creators of a harmonious future. Thoughts full of doubt, aversion and bitterness will relegate us to be the co-creators of a gloomy future. Thoughts and words of love and forgiveness raise the vibrations. Thoughts of worthlessness and condemnation lower the vibrations. It remains up to us to decide which film we enjoy, what we like eating, what we believe and where we work.
