This YouTube interview excerpt (Reverse Engineering the Soul, featuring Cory Allen) presents a first-person account of a perceptual shift: Allen describes "waking up" to his subjective perception and realizing his impressions of the world are not identical to what actually is. He argues that recognizing perception as subjective reduces conflicts and anxieties, opens one to uncertainty, and fosters patience and flexible, larger-minded thinking.

Chapters

The walls of the movie set just fainted and everything shifted. And what had happened is I woke up to my subjective perception. So not only did I just intellectually understand that what I was perceiving was a reading of the events outside of my skin, but I actually began to experience it and really feel and understand how everything that I was observing was just my impression of the world as opposed to what was. Whenever you begin to understand it, like disagreements, anxieties, all these different things melt away because you realize, maybe I don't have the full story here. Maybe what I'm assuming is happening in the world is not actually what's happening. Maybe there's a lot more to it. It leaves you open, leaves you flexible, and allows you to take things in a lot more patient and larger minded way of thinking outside of yourself.
