You Can't Get There From Here

How far away is another frame?

Impossibly far yet immediately accessible.

It sounds like a trippy puzzle, but there's nothing spooky about it. It's a simple matter of shifting perspective.

How far away is forgiveness? Impossibly far, but you can do it right here and right now. It's immediately accessible. Just reframe!

How far away is gratitude? Impossibly far yet immediately accessible. Just reframe!

How far away is love? Impossibly far yet immediately accessible. Just reframe!

How far away is your reorientation as a speck within a vast universe, making petty concerns irrelevant? Impossibly far yet immediately accessible. Just reframe!

There used to be a saying, "You can't get there from here!" With shifts of perspective, this is literally true. You can't get there from here...yet it's immediately accessible. Just shift perspective. Just reframe.

It's not a question of "trying harder." It's a matter of viewing differently.

We've all experienced this. One day the world seems different — we're "inspired" or "in love" or "forgiving" or "appreciative" or "freshly determined" or "finally at peace". It all shifts, and things look different, so we figure the world must have changed out there.

But no. We did it — by shifting perspective in here. And this ability is always available, like a smartphone feature we've forgotten about.

A shift of perspective can bring us impossibly far. You can't even get there from here! Yet it's immediately accessible.

That's the simplest explanation. The "Explain it like I'm 10" version.

This series goes the other way, explaining how the entire multiverse hinges on this utterly simple flexion of subjectivity. I.e. this is how it all works.
