“The discovery that the experiencer is the experience, is meditation.”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Two people can be sitting next to each other in the same room of a hundred people, watching a sports game & may experience completely different things.
They are in the same environment. Surrounded by the same people.
Watching the same game.
Yet they have a different experience than the people around them.
Same thing if you’re watching a play, or reading a meditation book, listening to music, or walking in nature.
You may hear & read & see the same exact things that others are hearing, reading, & seeing, yet you have your own interpretations of the experience.
It’s good to have your own interpretation.
All children are living from their individual perspective until they reach a certain age & the world sort of takes away their individuality & tells the person what to think, how to feel, and how to interpret things…
So as we age we sort of lose ourselves as we conform to our surroundings, but what if we didn’t?
What if we kept our individuality?
What if we understood the power of conformity, & then we understood the power of our individual self?
What if we stepped away from the crowds, & decided what we actually thought about things?
Your perception is your reality.
And how we feel about it?
Do not disempower yourself by adopting other people’s perspective.
You are it!
