Our performance directly correlates to how
situations occur to us.
Beyond perception and experience
Perspective

Is this a sunrise or a sunset? Or neither?
How does this photo occur to you?
What do you see?
Different worlds provide different contexts
World ‘Out There’ Versions of Same World
The World ‘as it is’ Common Sense
Facts = Facts Someone is that way
World ‘In Here’ Different Worlds How world occurs Reality Illusion Facts = occur to us How they occur to us
