~Perception Is A Mirror~
~~~
You Respond to what You Perceive
And as You so Perceive
So shall You Behave
~~~
Every Response you Make
To Everything You Perceive
Is up to You
Because Your mind Determines
Your perception of It
~~~
You cannot be Aware
Without Interpretation
For what You Perceive
Is your Interpretation
~~~
Understand that you do not Respond
To anything Directly
But to your Interpretation of It
Your Interpretation thus Becomes
The Justification for the Response
~~~
Perception Selects
And makes the World you See
It Literally picks it Out
As the Mind Directs
The Laws of size
And Shape and Brightness
Would hold...Perhaps
If other things were Equal
They are Not
For What You look For
You are far more likely to Discover
Than what you would prefer To
"Overlook"
~~~
The World can Teach no Images of You
Unless You want to Learn Them
Reality needs no Cooperation from You
To be Itself
But your Awareness of It
Needs your Help
~~~
Perception is a Choice
Of what You want Yourself to Be
The world You want to live In
And the State in which you Think
Your Mind
Will be Content and Satisfied
It chooses where you Think
Your Safety lies at your Decision
It reveals Yourself to You
As You would have You Be
And always is it Faithful to your Purpose
Let Us be Glad
That You will see what You Believe
And that it has been given You
"To Change"
What you Believe
~~~
If You Perceive Truly
You are Canceling out Misperceptions
In Yourself and in Others Simultaneously
Because You see Them
As they Are
You offer them Your Acceptance
Of their Truth
So they can accept it for Themselves
Let us not rest Content
Until the World
Has joined our changed Perception
Let us not be Satisfied
Until Forgiveness
Has been made Complete
~~~
As I share the Peace of the World
With my Brothers
I begin to Understand
That this Peace comes from Deep
Within Myself
