Perspective is Everything

What is perspective?
Everything we think can become physical reality by speaking the words, or writing them down through our senses, this is called a perspective.
The thoughts in our heads are gathered and created by the environment around us. What we believe and how we perceive the world are passed down by our parents, teachers, friends, and others around us from conception, to age 7.
This occurs because at age 7, our cells are fully generated, and the brain is developing and comprehending the world in a greater way.
Perspective, occurs when a stance is taken on a certain idea, concept, or interpreted thing.
Is it possible to have no perspective?
In grad school I spent a lot of time studying liberalism, Neo-liberalism and neutrality. We looked at France for the idea of secularism within a collective government, which relates back to the social contract theory and collective freedom.
In both France and Quebec the reoccurring problem is the individual’s need to represent their faith in public spaces. Essentially expressing personal freedoms.
This begins to beg the question, of whether no perspective is possible. Is neutrality possible if there is a duality of freedom occurring in the current system?
Then, in a Monarchy, such as England, the country becomes unified by one religion, or system of belief that all must follow or face social rejection.
I wonder if the problem isn’t about which faith is right, but about the perspectives we adopt toward other systems of belief.
Everyone is raised in different environments, and the global crisis occurring right now is amplifying the truth of this.
Is it possible to change perspective?
I’d like to call this idea perspective theory and equate it with unity. There is no such thing as neutrality, only unity.
To be neutral means there is no position. Nothing at all, but by this claim, there is belief in nothing. That nothing has become something and therefore offers a claim of perspective.
As I’m writing this, I realize this is a question for philosophy of mind, and can go much deeper into the ideas of consciousness and interpretation. My aim is to make this simpler.
In metaphysics, and quantum physics, there is something called the observer effect.
The theory that the mere observation of a phenomenon inevitably changes that phenomenon
wikipedia
By this definition, the phenomenon is physical, and the observer is non-physical, consciousness. It follows that there is something always observing something external.
If we accept these premises, then it is plausible that objectivity cannot be articulated by the human consciousness that exists and connects all humans.
Argument:
- All humans have the ability to perceive and hold a perspective
- All humans have consciousness, or the ability to generate thoughts
- If 1+2, then all humans generate perspective through their ability to hold perspective.
- If we accept 3, therefore, all humans are holding bias and objectivity cannot be the absence of perspective.
What is perspective?
Philosopher Dr. Wayne Dyer said if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
This quote is the best way to define perspective because it states within the words, what a perspective shift is.
The same words repeat in a different pattern.
- if you change the way you look at things
- the things you look at begin to change
This is also the observer effect. As it is our free will to choose the perspective we have.
Because of social conditioning, and other factors that we understand as history, there is a false belief that there is one way.
The truth is, the world is diverse. There are MANY ways to look at things!
Did you know that brain waves can change in a matter of minutes by meditating?
The simple act of sitting with eyes closed, focusing on the top of your eyelids and connecting your mind to your breath, and hearing your heart beat, can change a human’s brain.
This is mind control. This is how we begin to change our perspective, but first, we must become aware of the perspective.
Remember…
I could write about this topic forever because I studied the multiplicity of perspectives on theories of justice, distribution, normalcy and consciousness.
Things may be different, but they’ll also never be the same as they were.
Does that scare you?
Are you afraid to see the other side, or the other dimension of a concept?
These questions will begin to open up the realm of possibilities.
That’s it for today!
