Throughout the book, we will address all three <strong>of</strong> these major humanactivities: thinking, feeling, and acting. It is these activities which comprise thebulk <strong>of</strong> human experience. If these activities are within a healthy range, it is verylikely that one is living life at an optimal level.SummaryFor all practical purposes, we find ourselves in an infinite universe, and thus,an infinite reality. Our task is to learn to live as good a life as possible within thisreality. Given that we cannot know or understand all <strong>of</strong> reality, we can focus onthose parts <strong>of</strong> reality that affect us directly. Our personal reality has two majoraspects: Our internal (or mental) reality, and our external (or objective) reality. Bychoosing what we allow to enter our internal reality, and by choosing whichaspects <strong>of</strong> our external reality to actualize, we can, to some extent, manage ourpersonal reality.HMOR.July2005.Muñoz.doc 21
