Gary Zukav Quotes

There are many levels of truth.

You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.

The reality we live in is selected by our conceptual definitions. You and I may be in the same physical space, but each of us will see it as entirely different.

Judgment means that you view the world as you are, rather than as it is.

I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.

People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are.

Reality is not what it is. It consists of the many realities which it can be made into.

As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.

Reality doesn't bite, rather our perception of reality bites.

There is no truth. There is only perception.

Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty.

Remember, we see the world not as it is but as we are. Most of us see through the eyes of our fears and our limiting beliefs and our false assumptions.

Perception is reality. People take what they want to from things.

One place exists as their interpretation of it. For the people living and thriving inside of it, it's another place.

Doesn't everyone see Reality as it is?

It depends on which reality you take and which reality I take.” (p. 318).

Our perspectives on situations act like a lens through which we view the world.

Truth is only a question of point of view.

To ensure that our views are credible, our brain accepts what our eye sees. To ensure that our views are positive, our eye looks for what our brain wants. The conspiracy between these two servants allows us to live at the fulcrum of stark reality and comforting illusion.

My perspective will create my perception

We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.

The world you see is less of an indication about the world and more of an indication about your seeing.

We never know the reality of things: we see only what we are aware of. It is our consciousness that determines the shape of the world around us -- its size, motion and meaning.

Reality is a question of perspective.

None of us see the world as it is but as we are, as our frames of reference, or maps, define the territory.
