It is just a matter of perception. You create and navigate your own reality choosing what information is relevant to you and disregarding information that is not. Your mind operates under action potential and bias. Thus is the illusion of reality and choice. The sum of given circumstances, exposure to information and experience builds tiers of relevance in the unconcious mind. This system of relavance is meant to be taken for granted, invisible under the veil of desire and dislike. People who are indoctrinated, for example, into religion and a conservative lifestyle tend to have most of their experience and information garnered to form their own reality, displacing liberalism and outstanding religious beliefs. The latter can also be applied to the tree hugging hippie who's influence and cultural makeup produce an alternate paradigm of reality. In truth, both of their spiritual views and cultural views are completely valid for the makeup of their reality. The action potential is the sum of all data and experience giving rise to the manifestation of will and choice. Even more so, reality, or the illusion there of, is a circular system where you project your will outward to shape the experience of reality and thus your perception of reality can change and will affect the future outcome of reality and it's perception. When one stops to look inward and explore the makeup of oneself you can get a glimpse of the mechanics involved in what choice you project on reality and why or what you choose to see, believe, accept, refute and ignore. To be enlightened is to see all aspects of the self and it's role in the interaction of perception, choice and how it shapes ones own reality. To trancend this point of self and see all realities, yours and the others that manifest is no simple thing. It requires great self exploration and self understanding, as well as understanding others and exploring them. Only the idiot thinks they know everything.
