What is the Secret to Life?

By Dreaver Endus

When it all began…

I was stumbling through the internet and I found a site called Google Trends. I’m sure many of you have heard of this, one of its uses is to help those who write articles be more SEO friendly. But that’s really neither here nor there.

Back to my point, when you type in certain phrases into Google Trends, it will show you on a graph the relative search statistics of a term or phrase. Therefore, if more people search for something, the higher the trend will be. With this, I tried searching some key phrases tailored to what I want to write about. I mean what could it hurt? At least it will improve my traffic, and then it happened.

If you enter in the phrase “What is the Secret to Life?” into Google Trends, you are going to find an amazing amount of searches that have taken place with this phrase in the past six months. Most of these searches are being made from the United States at that. Your world needs a guide now, someone to tell them the truth rather than fill your head with some mindless B.S. and garbage.

I am going to tell you the secret to life, whether you want to or not, I am going to tell you. It’s obvious the world is misguided and looks to find the direction they can take to better their lives and themselves. I want to help this world, I want to see Peace and Love rule, and I want to see the Equality and Understanding of one another finally begin.

You searched for the secret to life and here it is. So here’s to you Chicago and New York!

What is the secret to life?

To be able to say that I can tell you the Secret to life and our existence in a single sentence, I would be lying to you. The Secret to life can be found rooted deep within ourselves, and though the root can be described in a single sentence, the enveloping ideas and how much the root affects us would take me much, much longer to tell you.

Or it’ll take a single word.

So what is the Secret to life? Perception.

Our entire reality is based on and shaped by our perception of the world around us. Our perception is the barrier that tells us what we can or cannot do, how we should feel about something, and even controlling us down to our moral core. Perception tells us what’s real, what’s imaginary, what’s important, and pretty much tells us how to react and feel about everything we experience in reality.

Here are some examples:

Let’s say someone tells you a lie, and they whole heartedly believed it to be the truth. Did they really tell you a lie? In reality, they would be able to pass a polygraph test and you wouldn’t be able to tell that they are lying, the only way you would ever believe it to be a lie is if you found factual information going against what they had told you or you already knew yourself that it was a lie. Even then, your perception would fight it and you will still try to believe the original lie. A little confusing let’s try another.

How about a holographic wall? Let’s say you cannot tell that this wall isn’t real, upon first glance this looks exactly like a solid brick wall. Now place this wall directly in the path of a moving individual and you will find that they move out of the way and continue on their course around the wall or stop in front of it. Why? It’s a wall, and we know that it will hurt to run into the wall. In fact, the only way to actually perceive this wall as able to be passed through was to either be told or find out for yourself accidentally. And if you did realize the wall was fake? Yeah. Just try seeing how many people you can get to run through the wall, not many. They see a wall and know that it is not possible to traverse through a wall and therefore you are attempting to make them run headlong into it.

Schrodinger’s Cat. Here’s an interesting one, quite a bit more arguable. Say we take a cat and put it into a box with a vial of a very deadly poison. Now we seal the cat in the box and leave it be for a while. (Mind you I have not done this, not my cat, I love cats.) Since we know that if the cat were to imbibe the poison it would surely die, but there is no way to tell if the cat had done that. So theoretically the cat could be considered dead and alive at the same time until you open the box to find out.

In each of these examples I show you how your reality can be completely different and ever changing based upon your perception of the world. The reason for you feeling trapped is because the general population of this world is suffering from something I like to call Arrested Perception.

What is Arrested Perception?

Arrested Perception is a learned behavior and it develops into a barrier around your reality controlling the way you express yourself and react to various stimuli occurring in said reality. So in effect, the more you are told to abide by a certain system without question; the more the actual scope of your reality will diminish. Alternatively, if you are brought down emotionally, emotionally restrained, or physically restrained throughout a length of time, your scope of reality will dwindle as well.

To understand the full scope and perceive it, we have to understand that everything is and has always been. Every piece of the universe is created of the same core entity and therefore we are one with the universe. The scope of the universe is beyond comprehension or perception, it is above and beyond us. But in your scope of reality, in this world of ours, your potential can be fully opened simply by understanding that whatever you perceive will exist.

Perceive it and it shall be.

You want to break free from those shackles and burdens that are holding your superior spiritual entity from enjoying this miracle we call Life? Arrested Perception does not have to hold you back; you can be more than who you are. We can rebuild this world together and change the way we live and how we do, but for now, rebuild yourself take off those shackles and understand that nothing is holding you down, nothing is holding you back in this world, and nothing is holding you back except YOURSELF.

One more time with feeling! Nothing is holding you back except YOURSELF. Accept Yourself!

Perceive it, and it shall be. Senserit, et erit.

You get one chance in this world and you would waste it by worrying and stressing over simply nothing. Since I’ve been here I’ve seen anger between others over absolutely nothing at all. Such pettiness, such jealousy and such malevolence, and these people are sad and full of hate, regret, vengeance and just some really petty circumstances in general. It’s everywhere too! Broadcasted over the internet, heard on the radio, I heard on the radio that this guy wants his girl, who is leaving him, to leave him some Morphine before she goes. . . I understand that that is not even close to being in context, but come on! Really!? On Cable all there is any more is reality television, which is televised DRAMA. Stuff about fictional people having fictional problems and attempting to make them serious problems for no reason all the while trying to make you believe that it’s all real and that this is how everyone acts!

Simply understand that the stress and worries you feel are self-imposed and imposed by those around you. Those around you will only have control over you if you subjugate yourself to their control over you. So simply, those stresses and problems you have, they don’t really exist if you don’t want them to. In fact they never have to be stresses or problems at all, it’s just that you have been trained by the environment around you to react the way you do to. So it’s not your fault in this, you just need someone to tell you the truth of the matter because everything else is feeding you a line of BS.

So just start smiling. Be happy about stuff. Stop worrying so much. If you are breathing, you are still alive and kicking, there is always hope. You can make things better still, just relax, breathe, and let it go.

If you are suffering from a debilitating disease, been shot, have people chasing after you with malevolent intent, then you have problems that you need to worry about. Your problems are so small in comparison to something that is life threatening, almost nonexistent on the radar.

Perceive your existence to be just the way you want it, wish and hope the things you want, focus on them. They will come into your reality. Be happy and perceive things happily rather than being critical and annoyed. This journey is supposed to be a fun learning experience but has become a power struggle instead.

So how does it work?

Every living being on this world must perceive something before they can experience it. There is that split second where you envision the outcome of your actions and must decide your next move. Every living being experiences this filter in their very own and unique way.

This filter or scope of reality that we can access ourselves is hindered by outside sources affecting how we perceive things to be. The universe in all its complexity was a gift given to you in your mind that separates you from other living beings on this planet. We have the power to change the reality we reside in and draw forth our desires and wishes simply by envisioning them and concentrated on them. This is the Law of Attraction. We have the power to attract anything we want in the universe but first we must perceive those things coming into our life.

Perception is the root of the Law of Attraction. It is the key to not only being able to attain anything you want but being able to live at one with the universe and harmonize your spiritual entity to the life you live.

Live by the law of the land and the law of the land is your life.

Live by your own understanding of the universe and how you are connected to it to make everything better as a whole and you will experience your life in a completely different way and the life you live will be fulfilling, gratifying, completing, and just an overall beautiful thing.

The only thing that holds you down and holds you back from living your life positively is yourself. The only thing that hinders you from achieving greatness is yourself.

Perceive your life as a happy life, and it will be a happy life.

Perceive money as unimportant, and it will not be important.

Perceive that you are more than what everyone tells you, that you have a hidden potential that is far greater than the likes anyone has seen before, and it will be so.

All you have to do is know that you can rather than can’t. Open your mind to the possibilities, open your perception to the wondrous and beautifully entertaining game that is life, and open your soul to the universe, and you will transcend.

Senserit, et erit.

Impressive writing and well argued. You are probably right; the way we feel is mostly based on our perception of our immediate environment and perceived reality. Great article

Wow! I love this. I have read several books recently on subjects you have touched on in this hub and all fascinate me. You captivate with your style of writing and the subject matter of the principles of life. I believe in the law of attraction and that life experience is all about our own attitude. Brilliant.

Good work I enjoyed reading it and agree that perception is everything. You may enjoy the writings of Stuart Wilde, he has a similar concept of the world as you seem to have. I look forward to more of your work.

Rastafari know this is truth. Everybodies looking for something. They can feel it inside, but they do not know what it is.

Check out my hub http://rasta1.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Control-Life

It deals with very similar principles of perception.

Ha! Awesome article, just checked it out and voted it up. I Recommend your article as a more scientific approach, but it essentially speaks of the same thing. Be positive and you will live positively!
