How we see things creates what we see. Changing how we see things changes everything. Seeing is also not-seeing, keeping us from seeing what we do not see. What we see is how we see what we are looking at. A shift in perspective transforms the world. Control how we see what we look at and you control what we do. The future depends upon who sees what how now. Who is in charge of how you see what you look at? Your future belongs to them. Practice seeing how you see. Notice what governs/influences your seeing. Become super-sensitive to how people use the media to cant your seeing by the way they talk about what they want you to look at. Become curious about how you get your point of view. Where does it come from? Who would be proud of you for seeing/feeling the way you see/feel? How do you know what you think you know? Who says so? Who agrees with you? Whom do you agree with? Assumptions and inferences enable us to see what isn't there-- force us to see what isn't there. Get to the bottom of everything. Ask all of the questions that beg to be asked. Say all of the things that cry out to be said. Notice what you are not asking, are not saying. Ask and say those things. Every day. In every situation as it arises. Forever.

Absolutely true. Media, friends, family, guru, text—outside influences.
