we are born and then we are indoctrinated with
ism’s, myths, habits, prejudices, superstitions, biases…
now these myths, ism’s, habits,prejudices…
are simply society attempt to instruct us with the rules/laws
of society and the universe…
to quote Kant once again…
“all perceptions is colored by emotions”
we perceive the universe through the lense of our emotions…
these emotions are the myths, habits, ism’s, prejudices…
we are indoctrinated with from our birth…
in other words, our perceptions are distorted by the myths and
habits… of our childhood…
an example is, the prejudice that black people are inferior to white people…
this myth, prejudice, habit is the lens in which people make an understanding
of the universe/reality…they see reality through the emotion of
their childhood indoctrination…the prejudice they were taught…
so, in seeing reality, they can only see black people as being inferior,
and so that is what they see… regardless of the truth…
“all perceptions are colored by emotions”
so if people are indoctrinated with the understanding of the universe
in terms of the emotion of hate or anger or greed, that is how they
see the universe… in terms of those emotions… hate, anger, greed, lust…
so if we indoctrinate children with hate, that is how they see the
universe… if we indoctrinate children with love, that is how they
will see the universe…
the very rules/laws we indoctrinate children with, will in large
part, determine how children will see or perceive the universe/reality…
“all perceptions are colored by emotions”
so, now we can connect the first part about laws/rules with this second
part, which is perceptions are colored by emotions…
so if we teach the rules/laws of life to be about the higher
level of being a human being, that love and hope and charity
are the rules/laws of the universe, then the myths, habits,
prejudices we teach our children are about the higher aspects
of being human……… we color our children emotions with
love and hope and charity… and through those emotions,
they perceive the universe/reality……… instead of hate or greed
or lust or anger…………
by what we indoctrinate, we teach the children how they perceive
the universe…………
