exactly
your mind is like a lense, through which you experience reality. reality is much bigger than the lense, but the lense is there so you can focus, simplify it enough so that you can function, have identity, etc.
otherwise, it’s chaos. there’s just too much data coming into your brain. your mind breaks it down for you so you can get your body around, sustain it and maintain it so your mind can go on experiencing
everyone experiences things differently. one person looks at scientific data and sees proof there is no god, another looks at the same data and sees the opposite. we
all make our judgements based on things we
assume to be true. (even what i'm saying now)
i see it like two sides of a coin. some are calling heads, some tails. but scratching the image off of one side of the coin so that you can never get "heads" with your coin doesn’t take that side of the coin away. and guess what? everyone else has a coin, too, so just because your coin is missing the image on one side doesn’t mean it’s the standard or the absolute truth.
