The other day I was at the gym, reading "The Four Agreements" and thinking about class. One quote from the book reads: "Attentio
n is the ability we have to discriminate and to focus only on that which we want to perceive. We can perceive millions of things simultaneously, but using our attention, we can hold whatever we want to perceive in the foreground of our mind... That is the way we learned everything we know." Using knowledge from this psychology class, what is the best explanation for why the direction of our attention creates our reality?
The direction of our attention creates our reallity because we first use our attention to learn symbols.
Explanation:
<em>We believe those symbols represent our knowledge and reality. Then we reach a stage where we realise that this reality is not real. So we try to change it and create a new one. It is like we declared war against all the lies in our knowledge and we fight to throw off the belief system that causes us to repeatdly punish ourselves for past wrongs, which is the system that brings up past thoughts and punishes us over and over again.</em>
<em>When we accept ourselves just the way we are and everyone else these punishments end.</em>
I believe that the correct answers to this would be be A. Walking away from the situations and B Keeping your facial expression serious! These two are both important types of body language when saying no!
