We don’t actually sense or experience reality directly, everything we experience is a mental representation of what is out there. That means we actually imagine reality or construct in an internal simulation.

This is actually very good news, because it is the basis on which we can improve our mental-emotional experience by choosing to perceive reality differently. This all comes down to that common saying: “if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Buddhism teaches that your true self is perfectly pure, free and happy. So when you are convinced that that is the case, and when you understand that you literally imagine your reality, those two convictions together can lead you to start to see yourself on a whole new level. One which Buddhism calls Buddha Nature. 🪷☸️ 🪷☸️ 🪷☸️
