When you are invested in this idea of reality as a constant, you are less able to adapt to change, you are less able to accept that your perception of reality is not actual, you become more deeply embedded in your own perception of what is true. It’s problematic because you begin to accept that as a capital T Truth. When you are situated in judgement of others, you are deepening your purchase in your own concept of what Truth is and what that reality is, and so you are less agile in your ability to adapt to new information, to respond and allow for others to influence you and provide you with more pieces to the puzzle of reality.
When we ingratiate ourselves in our own siloes or echo chambers (surrounding ourselves with people who think similarly to us—who share the same perception of reality) we are doing ourselves a tremendous disservice because we are just more fully digging into that perception and disallowing the possibility for anything to be different. The Truth is chaos and constant change. The Truth is there is no capital T. Everything is a variant and we have to have comfort in holding all of those things together in order to fully expand (grow).
