The document discusses the process of perception and the creation of personal realities. It states that perception involves selecting, sorting, and interpreting information from the environment. It also asserts that reality is created in the mind and is shaped by one's experiences. The most difficult reality to create is of oneself, as people focus on the negatives and see what they expect. Stasis refers to one's personal status quo and feelings of physical and emotional balance within one's defined personal reality.
