Your mind acts as a filter. It filters everything. It works 24/7. The filter decides if you’ll be a failure or a winner, not your talents, education, skills, or smarts

What the heck does that mean? Most of us will never get it. Most of us will never experience it.

Why? Because most of us will never see the difference between one filter or another, we are so locked into our fixed filters.

What is a filter anyway? you ask.

Filter is the mind’s distortion of reality, a distortion in your view of existence, in a predetermined way.

Much like a window pane: it is never quite smooth, and as you move your head up and down, or left and right, you can see that the picture you see slightly waves, and gets skewed this way or that.

A not totally smooth window pane is a filter.

The mind’s filters are verbal. In fact, everything that the mind stores is verbal, or words. The distortions are caused by the words.
