The perception equation

I like the formula in the book When Everything Changes, Change Everything: In a Time of Turmoil, a Pathway to Peace, by Neale Donald Walsch

Walsch suggests PERSPECTIVE + PERCEPTION + BELIEF + BEHAVIOUR + EVENT + DATA + TRUTH + THOUGHT + EMOTION = EXPERIENCE = REALITY

Perspective: This refers to the point of view from which an individual views the world. It is their unique lens that shapes the way they interpret events and situations.

Perception: This is the way that one perceives and interprets the world around them. It is the filter through which one views their reality.

Belief: This is the set of values and beliefs that one holds about the world and their place in it. It is the foundation for how one chooses to respond to the world around them.

Behaviour: This is the external expression of one’s internal beliefs and values. It is the sum total of one’s actions and reactions to the world.

Event: This is any situation or occurrence which takes place in the world. It is the stimulus that elicits a response from an individual.

Data: This is the factual, objective information available about a particular situation or event. It is the building blocks from which one forms an opinion.

Truth: This is the subjective interpretation of the data about a particular situation or event. It is the truth that one holds to be true about the world.

Thought: This is the process of taking the data and truth about a situation and forming an opinion about it. It is the logical reasoning by which one arrives at a conclusion.

Emotion: This is the feeling that one has about a particular event or situation. It is the emotional response to the world around them.

Experience: This is the sum total of one’s Perspective + Perception + Belief + Behaviour + Event + Data + Truth + Thought + Emotion. It is the individual’s unique experience of the world.

Reality: This is the result of one’s Experience. It is the reality that one has created for themselves through their own unique lens.
