Graduate your perception and live in total well-being.

The information captured by our sensory senses is filtered and processed by our unconscious mind, based on our beliefs, values, past experiences and all the programming we have been acquiring since our childhood: through family, education, society, TV, etc.

In other words, our perception of reality is conditioned by who we are, by our previous experiences, by our way of thinking and by our level of consciousness. From these lines we can realise that in the end perception is a subjective process and not as objective as we might initially think. It does not depend so much on others, or on external circumstances, but rather on our internal programming. We speak in general about perception, but here we can see that, after all this unconscious filtering, in the end what we really do is a subjective personal interpretation.

As I mentioned in the previous post, which I invite you to read if you haven't already done so, nothing external to us has the power to bother us. For example, nothing that happens to us, nothing that anyone could do or say can make us suffer without our permission. It is our programming, our ideas, our inner beliefs or our mind that decides to give it the power. In short, it is the interpretation of our thoughts that generates our discomfort. We are well and happy by nature at a deep level. So if you don't feel good inside, it is very likely that you are not interpreting well, what is happening around you.

The 9 mental frameworks

In this post I would like to give you 9 mental frameworks, 9 "vitamin ideas" that if you apply them can help you to refine and graduate your perception to live with well-being and fulfilment. The content of this post is based on concepts from NLP and from the book "Holy Ideas of the Enneagram" by Nekane Adrién.

1. Perfection

Who wouldn't like to be the scriptwriter of life, and change things according to one's own idea of individual perfection, based on one's own beliefs, whims or illusory assessments. This vitamin helps us to respect, trust, flow with life's decisions and feel at peace. This idea helps us to maintain a sense of appropriateness to the way things are. Assenting that everything that happens is right, perfect and as it should be on a collective level.

2. Will

This idea helps us to stop imposing our own will to flow with the collective will of life, and to accept what life wants us to learn, accept and experience.

3. Hope

This vitamin invites us to let go of the obsession with effort, sacrifice, struggle and continuous action, based on doing for others to prove our worth, and to achieve individual success. The idea is to experience the fullness and harmony of our own nature, to maintain a deep contact with ourselves, attending to our own needs, to be what the Universe wants us to be. To have a sense of optimism, openness, confidence, harmonious flow and hope with the unfolding of life and to renounce everything that does not work for us, makes us suffer and generates discomfort.

4. Originality

This is an invitation to let go of comparisons, to value an idealised external image of who we would like to be in order to look compassionately inwards, at where we come from and who we really are, to value ourselves, and to see that there is nothing flawed or lacking in us.

5. Omniscence

This framework refers to letting go of the need to accumulate knowledge from a mental point of view, because in order to know the totality of experience we must focus on exploring our inner wisdom. Understanding that we cannot know everything and that the knowledge we need comes from our inner knowing, from the connection with our heart when we have a calm mind, with an empty centre and presence.

6. Faith and strength

This idea invites us on the one hand to let go of our fear, mistrust, impatience, reaction and insecurity when making decisions or that we have in ourselves, and to stop projecting it onto others. On the other hand, it invites us to connect with our inner wisdom, courage, confidence and faith. The mind no longer governs our decisions, but we rely more on the information that comes from our heart. We can trust ourselves, our impulses, our desires, our actions and our capacity for self-regulation. We have all the resources to face life's challenges. The world is a safe place where we can be ourselves and fulfil ourselves. Life sustains us, we can rest, relax, stop being on constant alert and connect with the strength and whole nature of our BEING.

7. Wisdom

This idea invites us to stop living from illusory mental ideas and learn to live from the reality of our inner experience in the presence of the now. This is what will bring us into alignment with the unfolding of life. To stop avoiding the present with constant planning towards the future, and to be able to surrender to the present by accepting pain and one's own life circumstances. Understanding that it is not only our planning that can change our lives, but that it is already unfolding by itself. Connecting from the present with our inner wisdom and heart is what will show us the next step.

8. Unit

This idea refers to the fact that by default we perceive that we are all separate: we see a dual, polarised world, where there is good and bad, dark and light. We feel separate and with an undefined guilt, as if something is wrong with us that weakens us, that can awaken a feeling of revenge and act aggressively. This vitamin helps us to accept all that happens, all that is, without judgement, neither good nor bad, with equanimity and neutrality without victimhood or blame. If we let things simply be as they are, we dissolve the illusion of duality and struggle.

9. Love

This vitamin helps us to let go of the false idea that we are unloved, unimportant or unworthy of love, and that we must therefore strive, sacrifice or struggle to be loved. This vitamin helps us to connect with the feeling of oneness with gratitude and positivity to experience the unconditional love that we already are in reality from our BEING.

Take action

If you take just one of these vitamin ideas, you will notice an improvement in your well-being and peace of mind. Imagine all the fulfilment and well-being you can experience when you apply all 9 ideas at once. So I invite you to integrate all this, take action and reinterpret your life from your new, fully graduated perception.
