It’s a way of thinking that deeply satisfies my Ti. My favorite questions don’t have answers, but still manage to shake something loose inside of me.įrom my perspective, General Semantics couldn’t be further from navel gazing. I’ve been asking lately: How often is our personal reality tunnel – the belief structures and conditioning that form our experience of reality – the product of other people’s reality distortion fields? How many belief systems are a cult of personality, and are we essentially assigning these people god status by accepting their reality tunnels as our own? If “history is written by the victors,” how much are our minds’ programming essentially products of past victors, people of which we may not even know the names? (If this were a Wilson book he would make an asterisk with a footnote that would say, “Dear Reader: I’m referring to everyone but you, of course.”) He pulled it from a Star Trek episode that described how a certain alien species created their own new world through mental force. Later, Bub Tribble coined the phrase “Reality Distortion Field” to describe Steve Jobs’s charisma and its effect on the people who worked for him on his projects. It’s not to presume that there is no objective reality, but that all reality is being reinterpreted through things like our senses, conditioning, belief systems and I would add, personality types. The basic concept is that truth is in the eye of the beholder. Timothy Leary coined the term “Reality Tunnel,” which Wilson helped popularize.
