"Consciousness is the mirror in which reality reflects itself."
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
Consciousness Shapes Reality
Each of us sees reality differently. What we focus on becomes our truth. Our level of consciousness at any given moment determines how we perceive the world.
At lower levels - shame, guilt, fear, anger - life seems heavy and limiting. At higher levels - courage, love, joy, peace - life feels lighter, more hopeful and expansive. The higher we get, the more positive we experience reality.
A striking example comes from the Rolling Stones' song Paint It Black. It portrays someone who sees everything as dark, reflecting the despair of grief or trauma. In that state, consciousness is tuned to the lowest frequencies, where everything seems black.
Consciousness as Frequency
"We are not only the receiver; we are also the transmitter. We all radiate our own unique energy."
— Nikola Tesla
Consciousness works like a radio frequency. At lower frequencies, such as anger or hatred, we tune into negativity and broadcast it to others. People feel it immediately - anger changes the atmosphere in a room without a word being spoken.
But just as you can change the station of a radio, you can shift your consciousness to a higher frequency - love, understanding, joy. By calming yourself, practicing empathy or focusing on beauty, you change what you receive and what you transmit.
The Power of Awareness
"Raising awareness is the ultimate self-improvement tool."
— Sam Harris
When we bring unconscious feelings into the light, they lose their power. By scanning our emotions throughout the day, we can recognize when we are at a lower level and consciously shift higher.
The act of becoming aware interrupts the automatic stream of negative thoughts. In that awareness, change begins.
The Magic of Attention
"The easiest way to find peace is to disconnect and observe."
— Yung Pueblo
Often, we are lost in worry or negative thought loops. The fastest way out is to focus on beauty in the present moment. Whether it’s the architecture of a city, the calm of nature, or even a single flower, beauty pulls us back into awareness.
For example, someone walking through Antwerp’s historic center may be lost in anxious thoughts about work. But if they redirect their attention to the beauty of the cathedral or the joy of people around them, they instantly raise their consciousness and calm their mind.
Where Attention Goes, Energy Flows
"Where you focus your attention, that's where your energy goes. Where your energy goes, that's where you create."
— Joe Dispenza
If your consciousness is tuned to low frequencies, your reality reflects the negative. If tuned higher, your reality becomes positive and full of possibility.
In every moment, you can choose where to focus your attention. That choice shapes not only your inner state but also the reality you create.
