Wake up!

You are waking up to the constructed nature of your reality. Your reality is a construction. This reflection can make our worlds crumble and lose meaning. Waking up from the illusion is not always easy. What is reality? What is all this we call ‘the experience of life’ about? The world around us, our perceptions of it, our likes and wants, or communities and societies, are all constructions, aren’t they? What are we putting ourselves through and what are we living for?

These questions are also incredibly liberating, though, and can transform our minds; our realities are ours to create.

Where there is chaos, there’s also opportunity. As Friedrich Nietzsche said, “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” If our realities are constructions, that means that we can de- and re-construct them.

We have a say in what gives meaning and value to our experience of life. And when we have meaning, when we have a why, Nietzsche’s wisdom has also something to say here, “…who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” When you own and construct your reality, you move forward toward the meaningful life.

Now, we can see our lives as our canvasses, imagination as our painting, and experimentation as our technique.

I want to move toward fulfilling my mission: To facilitate reality questioning so that we dare to live the lives that we imagine, by waking up and breaking the spell of our constructed realities.
