Points of view as projectors

[Identity]

An insight whilst watching the new open-mindedness video;

consider a point of view as a perspective, not onto reality, but as reality. Consider that whatever point of view you hold, long and deep enough, will manifest.

This metaphor of the projector is helpful here. Consciousness is the light. The point of view, perspective, belief, is the filter. Whatever filter is put in front of the projector, is the movie that is seen on the screen.

This ties in with the idea of imagination.

There are different degrees of it. More surface level points or view have the ability to change the content within what is assumed to be ordinairy reality. For example:

- I am a millionaire pov, if able to be held deeply enough for long enough, will manifest.

- I am unworthy of woman pov, if believed deeply, you will create a reality where woman don’t like you.

- Self-esteem in general; if familiar with Nathaniel Brandon’s work, he goes deeply into all these beliefs.

These are basically self-fulfilling prophesies.

One tricky aspect I’ve noticed here, trying to change my pov’s, is that the old pov has to be totally removed. It has to not exist anymore. 

This is why it is so challenging to do this work. You really want to change your pov? Than your entire life movie will change. Your old friends will be moving our of your life for the most part, your job or studies, where you live, all of this is going to change.

Personal development is like changing the content of your life movie. What you have to realize though, is that it’s about changing, not adding onto, for the most part. There is only so much content that your self in this human form can hold. There is time and space as limitations. If you want the movie to change, some aspects will have to shrink or disappear.

What are you willing to give up to get to where you want to be?
