ABSTRACT

An individual's reality is their experience of life. Most people may assume reality is reality, that there is only one reality. We can however only experience our reality, or our perception of reality, our version; everybody's is unique. Even under the same conditions we would interpret and perceive a situation differently based on our conditioning (programming in childhood) and sensitivity. Our external reality is what occurs outside of us. In our daily lives, our minds are heavily focused on our external reality and our judgements about it. Our internal reality was always secondary, because we had to focus on fitting in and doing what others told us to do without question. The thinking mind is only a small part of our consciousness, but most of us are not aware of this because we are in it and don't realise we can go beyond it. The mind is like a small container within our consciousness, full of our thoughts.
