Each person views the world through their own lens.<BR/><BR/>However, neurological processes impact the way each of us views things and it has been shown that the neurological pathways of aspies differ significantly from the general population.<BR/><BR/>This is what I'm trying to deal with.

Now, I think my views are what is universal, and what most people think is what is different. They simple absorb the common viewpoint rather than recognizing that their own situation truly is unique. Then they're messed up because they think they just aren't strong enough or not rich enough or not whatever enough to handle this artificial world around them....<BR/><BR/>But if you know and recognize that you are unique and yet also part of everything, then you simply are enough, no matter what, and the world around you begins to seem to provide what you need. And you understand that the "common" view is neither correct, nor common. If you asked a dog or a bird what the world is like, they wouldn't give you the human answer, nor would you expect them to. And yet, humans are all supposed to give the same answer? It is baffling to think that way. We live in an artificial, created world that has little to do with what is real and true. And neither do our "common" beliefs that this majority seems to share.<BR/><BR/>I think your new understanding of yourself is great, but doesn't change who you are. It just makes you realize that your perceptions are indeed uniquely your own. But they always were. ;^)donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762690167864156774noreply@blogger.com
