We are all a mirrors!

I realize how we all project our own inner world, views, perceptions, judgments, preferences, likes and dislikes onto what it is we see in the world outside of us, and I am no exception.

The saying goes that perception is reality, but if we all perceive differently based upon our personal views, beliefs, judgments, preferences and evaluations, what lies beyond our subjective perceptions, projections and reflections, and how can we get in touch with that?

I always wondered about this idea that perception is reality, the main reason being is that if we all perceive differently the reality we see and live in is different from person to person, and so if we all live in different realities there is no wonder that we are so alienated and separate from one another.

In then seems only obvious that we ourselves have become alienated from ourselves, one another and life in general since what we see, what we think, what we feel, what we know and what we look for is different from person to person depending on our subjective learning experiences and personality.

The question I would like to raise is here is the following; what is the true nature of reality, what lies beyond our personal views, beliefs, knowledge and understanding, and how can we get in touch with that?
