Lesson 120: Filters

“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”
— Anaïs Nin

New week equals a new theme and we have “Shining Light On Invisible Clutter." Based on the quote, I feel like this may be the build-up of our thoughts based on our own perceptions. We usually are raised and conditioned on a certain way of thinking based on culture, where you live, religion, your teachers, your parents…  it goes on and on. You definitely do not think the same way as me but we might share similar views on certain topics. Usually the world we create is based on how we are as people. For example, I used to be very materialistic and need to have the latest dress or lipstick as soon as it got released because I had this view that it would make me happy. I had mountains of clothes, many of which I didn’t wear, shoes that filled up closets, make up spilling out of the dressing table. Now, I’m a spiritual being who believes in protecting the environment and thinking of ways I can reduce my environmental impact. I want the minimalist life and use out all my existing clothes until they can’t be worn any longer. I was awakened and there is so much we do on this Earth that does damage that we can probably avoid.

I’m interested to see what this week brings and if my fair assessment of the lesson and quote prove right.
