As a guidance to life, nothing beats "The Truth Is Out There" for me. The quote, from the first day I saw that appearing before "The X Files" starts have been an 'eye-opener'. It simply taught me and reminds me all the time that there are lot of possibilities and one should be open minded if he or she seeks the real happiness and success in life. You have to make yourself strong enough to 'believe the unbelievable' at times.
Well, if that 'particular thing' might be 'unbelievable' in your point of view but if it is proven to be correct, then you have to accept it, regardless f your opinion. That is where the role of a 'Discerning Perception' lies. Think of alternates, think of other possibilities, think of everything as much as possible but with consciousness and in a practical way. It is not about fantasies but about giving a meaning to those possible scenarios and deciding on them being practical.
Simply, a coin has two sides. Does it really? It actually has three sides. One might argue stating that only the two sides with the state symbol and the value matter. Well, he or she is forgetting something. Some coins have some letters engraved on the remaining side, without which the coin will not be 'valid'. It is not only 'how you think' and 'what you think' but also 'to which extent you think'. Adding to that, that is the extent to which I thought. One might think further and add / remove one or more parameter to rate 'thinking'. "Discerning Perceptions" will be an attempt to be a third eye and think differently on common issues...
