Something Worth SharingLook and See Over the years I’ve enjoyed some fascinating conversations based on extensive research regarding what, and how, we see things. How we see things - and our perspective and clarity - is one of the fundamental aspects of the GLAS method and ethos. Time and time again I come across people who believe that how they see things is exactly how everyone else does. This can’t be true scientifically. In essence, our eyes are simply the channel for information to flow through. This information is processed and made sense of by our brains in order to create our perception of a coherent, stable visual world. EYES + BRAIN = WHAT WE SEEThe eyes and brain work in partnership to interpret conflicting signals from the outside world. Humans need to make sense of the world through this pattern-forming and ‘story-telling’. Ultimately, we see whatever our brains think we should. Whatever is in our brains projects into every aspect of our lives - and of course, our brains and our experiences are unique. It is essential to know that our brains create beliefs as part of our operating system to help make sense of the world. Forming between birth and 6 years old, we create a filter, our belief systems, through which we process what we see. This lens can distort information without us even realising it – and we make decisions, and behave, based on this. In other words, what we look at might be the same as someone else, but how we see can be very different.
