"Reality is what we take to be true.  What we take to be true is what we believe.  What we believe is based upon our perceptions.  What we perceive depends upon what we look for.  What we look for depends on what we think.  What we think depends upon what we perceive.  What we perceive determines what we believe.  What we believe determines what we take to be true.  What we take to be true is our reality." --Gary Zukav

My own commentary in parenthesis to the above....

"Reality is what we take to be true (is it truly "real" or skewed by our "take?")
What we take to be true is what we believe. (again is our "take" on truth skewed by our beliefs?)
What we believe is based upon our perceptions. (are we "preceiving" accurately or truthfully?)
What we perceive depends upon what we look for. (again, are we "looking" for what we want to see or what is truly out th...ere?) What we look for depends on what we think. (do we "ignore" that which is too painful to "see"...are our "thoughts" impinging on our ability to "truly" see?) What we think depends upon what we perceive. (how skewed are our "thoughts?")
What we perceive determines what we believe. (and if our "perceptions" are skewed, aren't there risks to those "skewed perceptions" tarnishing our beliefs?) What we believe determines what we take to be true. (which then completes the potential viscious cycle depending on our CHOICES) What we take to be true is our reality." --Gary Zukav (added comments in parenthesis)
