PERCEPTION IS NOT A FACT,
BUT A REFLECTION OF THE BELIEFS
OF THE PERCEIVER.

Choose any object and understand that of itself it has
no meaning (or purpose) other than the meaning that you give to it.

If you have a book in your hands. Its meaning (or purpose)
will be determined only by you. On a very simple level,
you may use it as a door stop or to help start
a fire, and that then becomes its purpose for you.

In a larger sense, you may feel that the concepts are divinely
inspired or the work of the devil, and you will see in it only
those parts which support your belief.

You literally choose the meaning or purpose of everything
and every event in your life, and it becomes that for you.
