Six Steps of the Awakening The Who The Void The You

1. Law of World Views

• The world we perceive is actually the interface (mixture) of the nominal world (the Tao, the objective reality that is unknowable), and ourselves (the subjective).

• Changing your worldview does not change the eternal, real world, but does change the perceived world. This concept is important, because it is the world we touch, see and act upon.
• Changing your worldview makes real changes in the real world. (See below, "Law of Reflection.")
• Because there are an infinite number of ways to perceive the world, there are an infinite number of worlds you may assemble with your awareness.
• The true underlying reality is unknowable to you as long as you retain the worldview of separateness and self. You can become one with the universe but you cannot step back and observe it, because you are in it. You cannot observe a phenomenon without altering it by your mode of perception. There is no such thing as an independent observer. You participate in creating the world by perceiving it.

Wow, what a powerful, powerful thing! Emotions are like beliefs; they have the power to create and the power to destroy -- your spirit, your physical body and your mental body. Beliefs have the power to destroy personal lives, the power to do so many destructive things and create so much damage in our lives. For proof of this damage, take a look around you. The people you work with, your long-standing friend; your next-door neighbors; people in malls and stores; your personal family. A close look will make you realize how emotions have guided these people through their lives. One of the most important things about emotions is that beliefs create your emotional state and your neurological attitude of that day. How you feel when you wake up will also determine how you interact with your beliefs and emotions during that day.
