Very true!
@Kait
absolutely love the visual representation of perspective! Couldn’t visualise it better.
my only question is how does one know if they are at the top or the bottom of the spiral? Back to perspective.
Perspective is a subjective experience, viewpoint, so is it wrong or right?
guess how you perceive it to be?
My bring goes crazy when thinking about things kinda stuff. Regardless the sentiment is the same awesome post on a visual explanation on perspective. Thank you
@LabeledBPD
only undeniable take away is that perspective is powerful.

I don' think we know. And I think the more we try to grasp at knowing, the more suffering we experience.

I would say it's both. It takes a whole lot of mindfulness to get to a point where our perspective matches Truth. However, the more perspectives we can see, or embody, the closer we get to, "right."
@Kait
i agree that seeking knowledge as to position in a spiral can be detrimental. That said understanding where we are ultimately is a driving factor as to level of effort required in highlighting areas to work on, if even needed.
when using terminology such as perspective, acknowledging that it’s subjective but being able to understand and take in all objective perspectives.. what a place to be if objective perspectives fully understood yet not effected by any biases so able to actually utilise all knowledge.
have to always keep in mind that those with revolutionary ideas had their own perspective as to things, and without going against the objective perspective and all that can include some things would never be known or invented or changed for the better.
@LabeledBPD Labeled, what lovely & thoughtful questions, I hadn’t even thought of these, I appreciate you sharing your perspective :) I will ponder this 🤔 and get back to you 🤩
Powerful question indeed… I think self awareness helps us to understand where do we exist. If we are at top we should make sure we are not hit by pride and we we realise we are at bottom we should anchor ourselves with positive people to spiral up in the circle. 😊
@Kait great, it's a downward spiral.
@DkIfINeedHelpOrSleep looks like an upward spiral to me 😉
@Kait The spiral reminds me of a Danish pastry with icing on top & the coil/spring resembles a chocolate treat called a Walnut Whip.
@Kait mine is a downward one 🥲
@LeGhost223 the good thing is, we can always change directions <3
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
So, I might be running in circles, but I am also SPIRALLING DOWN, DOUBLE WHAMMY.
@ThePersonEveryoneWantsToBully and it's totally OK to be wherever you're at :)
@Kaiti
instantly relate myself hahaha
My thoughts are like that in many situations .
Never ending spiral
@blindHeart12 me too! I think it's human nature in a lot of ways :)
@Kait
Yes.
Mind control us.
How might I do that if I’m stuck in the same room in the same loop
Ah yes, the downward spiral. 😂 In all seriousness, though, I think this is true. Healing is not linear, and sometimes what might look like backsliding is actually an important springboard for further progress and healing.
@katgoa yes, so true!! so many of my most painful and emotionally challenging moments have led to necessary life changes that got me to where I am today!
