All of us have been in an extended reality for our entire lives. Your worldview and reality get shaped by external sources created by beings that control how you perceive it. Whether or not it’s actual reality, your eyes might not be able to tell the difference. Many have been convinced by people, TV’s, social media posts, and books about certain qualities about this actual reality. And when you look at how the influences happen, they are usually through a device or hearsay from another external person. These individuals were influenced by a device or external course which continues to shape how one perceives reality.

Within extended reality, there are multiple levels of how someone interacts with objects and ways to view XR, augmented reality, and virtual reality. With augmented reality, digital objects are placed in reality so individuals can interact with them. Filters or stickers on Snapchat and TikTok are readily available examples of augmented reality. With mixed reality, digital objects can be projected into actual reality with a headset so users can interact with them. Engaging with holograms can be placed with a HoloLens for mixed reality. With virtual reality, the individual is typically immersed in a digital reality and can use different forms of physical outputs to engage with digital objects. Fully digital experiences can be built with your hands in controllers for a platform like Neos VR.

And when everything is part of your extended reality, one starts to look within to discover what is actually real. Once you peer within, you’ll realize that much of it is a fabrication of the mind. Sometimes people will sit there and make up conversations that people are having, many times they will make up conversations that people are having about them that are actually not even happening. And they spend a lifetime worrying about the thoughts and feelings of others who aren’t even thinking about them. Consider how much energy is spent on these illusions within the mind.

Another thing to notice are advertisements where someone else’s reality gets projected into you. The car commercial showcases your lifestyle with the car. The real estate commercial visualizes your life with the home. The product commercial demonstrates how much your life could shift with it. Think about the last thing that you acquired due to word of mouth, an ad, or a review. You envisioned it in your reality and you acquired it, made it happen, or became it. You decided if that would become your actual reality or not. Remember, you have incredible abilities to manifest a wonderful reality.
