There are all different perspectives to look at this, but I think it rings true whether from a more psychological perspective, a philosophical one, a spiritual one or a practical one. Law of Attraction....I try not to use this word because my exploration of it leaves me feeling its a much heavier and complex model than people give it credit for...having a subconscious mind and everything, and the relationship between the conscious and subconscious. It's not just a matter of words and images.
Actually I live by the theory that all things constantly coexist and I am merely moving through parallel realities that give me the illusion of time...lol this is a whole new can of worms though, how many do we wanna open? hahahha
Eh, worms are a delicacy - we should open many of them :)
I suppose you could look at it through multiple prisms, as mos things. I try to stay within my field of knowledge - some philosophers have a habit of looking at things through prisms of say, computer science, without really knowing computer science. This in turn makes for a really weak argument, but a nice metaphor to get the point across at best.
Unfortunately, philosophers, unlike writers, don't like to take themselves with a grain of salt (or accept that sometimes "just" dramatization is fine without a deeper meaning) but seem obsessed with their own opinion.
If you can tell, I'm not a huge fan of philosophers 🙃
