Does your exposure and experience in life define your personality?

in #motivation7 years ago

You are totally of whatever you come across In the journey of life, that's you are shaped by your exposure and experience relating to people and things in your natural environment.images (33).jpeg source Pinterest.com

Experiences shape every moment of your life. From the moment you are born, you adjust to things based on everything you’ve seen, everything you’ve done and everything you have learnt. We are bound to behave similarly to what we have passed through in the journey of life.

Such an important part of our lives – the way we interpret our surroundings – is not so well understood
Internal experiences include everything that you’ve physically experienced. Think about your conversations with other people, or perhaps getting to bound a train or 🚌 for the first time. You will surely see how people would relate base on what they have seen and heard, in the same vain some people will actually get to know a lot of things added to the exposure, all this fused together to determine our attitudes towards life .

External experiences include everything you’ve observed. show, someone telling you their experience, or something that you’ve seen from a second person perspective.

Each of these experiences can sound one and the same. Isn’t watching someone do a trick and then actually performing it yourself pretty close to the same experience?

Yes. That’s because, on a subconscious level, the brain has trouble differentiating between these two experiences.

I used to be extremely involved in the teachings and practice of lucid dreaming and dream control. I would train myself to enter REM sleep, I would gain control of my dreams, and I would use such a world to enhance reality.

Dreaming, however, is an external experience, simply because it doesn’t occur in reality.

It’s entirely similar to going through virtual reality, or perhaps observing something on a television screen. It falls under the classification of an external experience.

External experiences, it turns out, matter just as much as internal experiences, as the mind processes them as one and the same.

One of the keys to learning how to lucid dream is the ability to determine whether or not you are in the dream world. Fail to do this, and you run the risk of not even realizing you’re in a dream. One of the popular tricks that people use to distinguish between dream and reality is to try and do something that normally couldn’t occur in real life. Carry around a piece of paper in your pocket with a bunch of words, and check if the words are in your dream (they can’t be, as your brain cannot process the highly complicated text symbols in a dream state, and you will be unable to read it).

Why is checking yourself the only way to distinguish between dream and reality?

It’s because the brain has a lot of difficulty separating the dream world from reality. The brain tends to meld these experiences together, making it so that you have no subconscious way of determining whether or not an experience was internal or external. It’s all the same to you.
