To have a good outlook on life and creation, I need to practice a good inlook.
DO we not all look at the things around us with our own presumptions, assumptions, judgements, conclusions and our own personal understanding of truth.
I look at something I relate a word or label it, after I label I try to define it to the best of my knowledge and understanding I have at that given moment. Many factors play into that defining including little things like my emotions, personal past histories, things i have learned from other influences, things that I picked up on on the way that leads me to where I am at this moment of doing so.
Quiet the emotions, personal past histories, things of other influence etc and just look "blankly" (for lack of better word) and let the object express itself which ever way or form without trying to control the object or sway. Just observe and learn from whatever it is you may be making a presumption, assumption, judgement, conclusion and personal understanding of truth.
When i do this it unlocks my misunderstandings about people, places and things and gives me a clearer view and appreciation for His creation. And gives me a much more peaceful outlook.
Shalom
