The question I asked myself several times and made me start with my Reality Engineering Project. Does this really work? Can you change reality simply by changing your point of view on it?
It is quite obvious that there are facts that can hardly be changed. A blind person lives in a different reality than a deaf one. They experience the world in dissimilar ways, depending on the senses they use to observe it, and in the end their realities will differ from each other. To a deaf person, sound is non-existent, a blind person will never experience what it is like to see, and how is someone ever going to know what "sweet" means if they can't taste? Things out of reach of our conciousness will not be noticed, they won't be part of our reality. We will fail to describe them, let alone to find words or definitions for them. There are animals with the ability to perceive more colours than we do, but there is no way for us to observe these colours, to define them. *
But what if we alter the way we observe our world? What if we start thinking outside the box? Use our imagination, train ourselves to see the universe and everything in it in a different light? What if we stop pitying our meaningless little lives and start giving them a meaning instead? Actually, that's nothing new. It's practiced by many people, in private or in therapy. Change your life with changing the way you think.
And from experience, I can say that sometimes all you need is to take a look at a situation from a different perspective.
If you can consider this altering reality - That's something I'd like to discuss with other people. I think that it's at least a start to make a big change in this world, because people could realise that there is a way to create a different place. It will start inside our heads, but it won't stop there. If we don't make this world a better place, who else is going to do?
