Living in the 1% of reality

by | Dec 1, 2023 | Personal Development, Weekly Blog

The phrase “living in one percent of reality” can be interpreted in a few different ways. When my clients grasp even the smallest degree of understanding about this concept, their performances are propelled to a much higher level than they expected, or believed they were capable of reaching. What feels so real to us is largely an illusion of our own making.

Give me more bandwidth

One interpretation is that it refers to the fact that most people only experience a very small portion of the world around them. This is because our senses are limited, and we can only perceive a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, for example. Additionally, we are only able to focus on a small number of things at a time, so we miss out on a lot of what is going on around us.

I’m always unlucky

Another interpretation of the phrase is that it refers to the fact that most people only see the world through their own perspective. This is because our experiences and beliefs shape the way we see the world. For example, if someone has had a lot of negative experiences with other people, they may be more likely to see the world as a dangerous place. This stresses the importance of’ looking on the bright side of life!’

Open my eyes

Finally, the phrase “living in one percent of reality” can also be interpreted as a spiritual concept. In some spiritual traditions, it is believed that there are many different levels of reality, and that most people are only aware of one level. The goal of spiritual practice, in this view, is to become aware of all levels of reality.

Ultimately, “living in one percent of reality” is up to the individual to decide. However, it is a reminder that there is much more to the world than what we can see and experience with our senses.

The rewards can be so huge this is a no brainer literally!
