The three ways to perceive

The environment was predictable and unexciting, thought the man.
- Close your eyes for a couple of minutes, and feel yourself. said the Master.
The man closed his eyes and began to feel his heartbeat. It was fast and intense. He began to calm it down. In the middle of the process, the Master suggested that he should look up. He did so, and suddenly felt how the environment was different, and more calm.
- Continue, if you feel. said the Master
The man continued the process. When he was done he looked up and suddenly felt the environment exciting and vibrating. The people, trees, birds - yes, everything - suddenly had something to "say" to him.

The master said,
- You will always have at least three different ways to perceive this world around you. The only thing you can do is to choose which one...
- True, said the Master, who actually were the man himself.

And the man was, actually me.
