In my metaphysical classes, I am fond of saying, “Whatever you perceive is you.” And I am hardly alone in this understanding. Deepak Chopra puts it this way: “Look out into the world, and what you will see is a mirror of yourself.”1
My favorite adage on this subject comes from the late Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the Hawaiian psychologist who made the Polynesian spiritual teaching of Ho’oponopono popular. Regarding objective life, he simply says, “There is no ‘out there’ out there!”2
Even if this concept sounds remotely possible, you may be asking the same question I did when I first heard it: “How does this understanding make my life better?”
