211. How To Shift Your Perception Value
In the last blog post, we talked about the importance of a perception value. Essentially, how you view, see and “digest” the world around you. This being a combination of biology, environmental factors, experiences, etc. The importance being your self-identity, the decisions that you make, your success and overall how you feel.
So why would one even want to change their perception value? What would be the benefit of it? As we go throughout life, our perception value certainly helps us. Since it’s a filter in which we see the world, it can bring a level of consistency to our behaviors. You could imagine how destructive or confusing it would be if you quite literally woke up every morning feeling like a different person. How would you get anything done? Even with a set of memories, when you don’t “feel” like yourself, you may struggle to find evidence or move forward with any semblance of confidence.
With that said, there may come a time when and where your current perception value isn’t working for you. While I would imagine that those who live relatively consistent lives… in other words, in a similar relationship status, living in a similar place or existing within a similar career, likely do not have a need for a constant shift in perception value. But those who go throughout life consistently experiencing new things, moving around, shifting jobs or relationships, it may be required.
I would imagine that creating a new perception value (which certainly would require a lot of work, as it’s relative to almost every second of the day) is likely what drives people away from creating “new lives”. After all, a new life is like becoming a new person. Not only is it a lot of work, but it can certainly take us out of our current ego and identity. This could even feel like “death” to some people. It’s important to consider if creating a new life and perception value is what’s preventing you from trying new things. As a result, a healthy relationship or “aware” relationship with ego will likely needed for starting over. Or else you may ultimately avoid change altogether. And you certainly don’t want the universe intervening for you.
I think that most people would consider that acknowledgment and acceptance as well as a “reboot” of your perception value is likely how to change it. While this is partially correct, as acknowledgement and acceptance of the idea of perception values is a great way to start… simply setting out to “switch it” or change it may not be as successful as you may think.
But why? There is only so much of a perception value which you can consciously understand. It’s sort of like the tip of the iceberg. There’s really no way for us to understand the breadth of it, without deconstructing it first. Understanding how incredibly pervasive it is in every area or aspect of our lives. We can certainly start this acknowledgement and acceptance period of acknowledging how unlimited its pervasiveness is. It can be overwhelming to feel that it inhabits quite literally everything of your conscious mind, but it’s a place to start.
It’s important to remember that although your perception value is primarily physical-world based, it does have a bit of spirituality or subconscious in it. It’s also important to remember that your perception value is not everything. It’s just your perception of a particular point and place in time. Physically, that is. When we access more collective conscious, we become more of an observer, and therefore become much more open-minded as well as objective. We lose the action-oriented approach that we are hard-wired with, as well as our subjective nature. In this sense, we truly are aligned with “truth” as well as the objectives and the spirit of the collective as a whole. Its present time resonance, as well as its path for the future.
So at this point, we’ve acknowledged and accepted the idea and pervasiveness of perception values. I do also believe it’s important to set an intention. Why do you want to shift your perception value? Do you simply intuitively feel it’s time? Do you feel like you’ve hit a wall, and need a change? Perhaps, and more likely, you’re too involved in physical reality, as well as your ego. And it’s time to “let go” and become more integrated into spirituality and the rest of the collective. Knowing and understanding your goal is also important.
Here is where it gets interesting, and what I would call the “deconstruction” phase. How does one deconstruct? Truthfully, I think that it may vary person to person. After all, some may be closer or farther away from the ideal execution of the deconstruction phase. Truly, deconstruction itself is a bit abstract. But I believe it encompasses aspects of deconstructing your current vision and digestion process. The most important aspect is being “okay” with the deconstruction of your current beliefs. Do you feel particularly strongly about a certain religion? About your own identity? Perhaps about what happens to you after you die. What you truly believe is possible. The best way to understand what you still have a “hang up” on, is experiencing triggering thoughts or ideas. How do you react to them? Particularly if they are from a place of love? If you find yourself resisting certain ideas, you have some sort of a constructed resistance to them. And this is the first place to start with deconstruction.
In terms of why you are triggered by certain ideas or beliefs, it’s likely because you’ve experienced past negative traumas related to the overarching concept or theme. As a result, these memories become “triggered” once you hear it. And this is the same idea as being triggered by quite literally anything. If we are ever in a place where we feel out of control with ourselves and the world, we will develop some type of a “coping mechanism”. Perhaps if we are frustrated with life, and can’t fathom the idea of moving on, we convince ourselves there is no life after death. Perhaps if we have such an inflated ego, that we consider we MUST live beyond this current realm, we have also developed an attachment to life after death. We must truly be at peace with what we cannot control. Or else, our singular, subjective and perhaps even arrogant philosophies will drive our spirits into extinction. As we will not flow with the subconscious reality of energy and all beings. We will isolate ourselves by determining our own fates, perhaps even at the expense or hands of others. We must be “okay” with truth, whatever that may be. It’s important to note that there Is still a will and drive of our own destinies, but in the framework of any semblance of truth, we must abide.
The truth is, anything and everything is possible. A large chunk of this deconstruction is our feeling that our dreams and hopes cannot be achieved. That we cannot live in an ideal world. That nothing will change. This is false, and is a projected, unhealthy reality from our own negativity and trauma. It’s a fallacy in which we allow others to control us. It’s theoretically useless, but to maintain us in our current place and space, and release any and all responsibility for ourselves, as well as the collective. It’s just… silly.
When we start to deconstruct all of these points, we must “exist” in this new, deconstructed reality and simply observe. What is difference? How do we look/view and digest the world? How do we react to things, or behave? Now that we have truly reconciled that anything and everything is possible, what is our true vibration? No negativity, no preconceived notions, nothing. We are theoretically a clear channel. We have theoretically released any old/negative or stagnant energy holding us back. My hypothesis is that you may feel more in the present, less stressed, and more open to new thoughts, feelings and emotions. New experiences. It’s likely that you may need to retain this new semblance of deconstruction in order to notice how pervasive it is. What it changes, and how. It may take a couple of days, or even weeks. Perhaps months, depending on your routine. But the process is worth it! My suggestion is not to get down on yourself if the deconstruction process is taking a while. You often times need to tackle it bit by bit. It may be emotional, or even painful. Hang in there, take it slow, and reach out to others for help and support if needed.
After you feel comfortable being “deconstructed”, it’s time to start the “reconstruction” phase. In other words, determining what is working, and what isn’t. While there’s no hard and fast rules as to what will work for you, it can be marked by a sense or level of peace, love, respect and success. What new habits or behaviors are you inhabiting? Feelings? Mental or emotional processes, etc. This is really a trial and error period to observe what has changed, what’s working, and what isn’t. It’s important that this new reconstruction process is filtered through your intention. A solid foundation of what you would like to achieve is important to continue the “filtration” process.
It’s also important to keep in mind the different aspects. How you view/see the world (through all of your senses) as well as how you digest it, or in other words, process it through your body through your mental/emotional states, as well as physical. Your goals may be broad and overarching, or they can even be specific. As an example, perhaps you have an issue overreacting to certain news, which may fall under mental/emotional. Your deconstruction period is allowing yourself to release any old/negative or stagnant energy related to this topic, and your reconstruction period is trial and error for how you can and will react to news going forward. It’s important to note that both of these processes really allow for anything and everything to “come through”, as well as be a perceived result. This process is completely up to you. There’s no right or wrong answer. And anything and everything is possible. However you would like to or choose to be, can be.
Your success can certainly be marked by achievement related to your goals, but I would also say that your happiness and success is also a simple and important goal. Since this process can be ambiguous and abstract, be sure to lean into your intuition regarding what “feels” right. This will be your compass and guide.
As mentioned, this process can be uncomfortable, but stick with it. You’ll want to make sure you don’t stop or end at the deconstruction period, as you may feel lost or confused. You also don’t want to stop at reconstruction, because your trial and error period may not end in your satisfaction, meaning the process may ultimately be wasted.
Stick with it and be proud of your results, even if you’ve only made some progress! People incarnate over and over and over again to learn these lessons, so trying to do it within not only one lifetime, but within a short timeframe is incredibly overwhelming and extremely admirable. All progress is good progress.
