There are two worlds we live in – One governed by the laws of math and science. A second that is a projection of our mind – Religions, beliefs, nations, values, concepts. Both are real in their ways. One world is objective. One world is subjective. To improve one world – We must change the facts. To improve another world – We must change the story in our heads. Stories Change. Facts rarely change. Wisdom Is – To know the difference between fact and story. And honor both worlds.

Everything the mind knows is filtered through its own limits. Just as everything appears blue when we are wearing blue-tinted glasses.  Once we are accustomed to the blue glasses, blue becomes the new norm. We assume that to be objective reality, which it is not. Where do we get the blue tint? Genetics, evolutionary Biology, social Conditioning, childhood experiences, memories and imprints. The highest knowledge we can get – Knowledge of the ‘tint’ of our own mind. Self Awareness is- Awareness of the colour of our glasses. Compassion is – Awareness of the colour of others’ glasses.

The most difficult thing to see – That which is obvious.  That… We are the process of nature naturing itself. We are not the end of evolution. We have created the concept of Time. We created stories called countries, beliefs… Search for happiness comes in the way of finding it. Morality is a manufactured concept. The unconscious in us takes most of the decisions. Good and evil come in one package deal. Our senses operate within very limited bandwidth. Happiness is subjective. It’s a stage, and we are here to play.
