You only see what you are prepared to see.
There are two sides to any situation.
You can choose to see what is bothersome, or you can choose to see what is uplifting.
You can be disheartened by the ways of the world, or uplifted by the opportunities.
You can upset at the things people do to upset you, or grateful for the things they do to uplift you.
You can be tired because the day has gone on too long, or excited because you have much left.
Only the wise make it through with a smile on their face in every situation.
Truth is born through understanding, and understanding is first accompanied by disappointment. You have to be disappointed by the nature of the world to be able to appreciate what actually makes life worth living. Appreciation comes from a childlike understanding of importance. Things that make us happy are much simpler - things that we think are important are actually quite silly. It's just the nature of humanity that helps get us swept off into a world of misunderstanding, materialism, social games, and weakness. There are things in life that can always make you happy, regardless of who or what is going in your life. An appreciation for the up, down, in, out, light, and dark nature of reality will help to understand beauty as it really is. Contrast, comparison, paradox, duality, depth, dimension, and differences create the sketches that describe out thought patterns and our conception of existence and reality. Without these descriptive forces, we would be flat, nondimensional, and would probably not move very much or have much thinking. The nature of our minds and our conception of reality is based around space. Regardless of whether or not one can see or hear or taste or smell or touch, there are things we do in thinking, dreaming and surviving that map our existence. We move forwards and backwards, we hear sounds in front of us and behind us, we feel something in out head, at our toe, and in in our stomach, we look around and witness the spatial nature of our existence.
Some would like to argue that space and time are figments of our imagination, and perhaps they are, but they are damn helpful figments. Perhaps space does not cooperate like we think it does all of the time, but it would make adjusting to a new mode of reality a lot easier if there was still some space-motion involved. Perhaps time is imaginary, an egregore: but we can use it very strongly to our adantage in that case. It allows for use to map and remap our existence on many different levels over and over again, in newer and better ways.
Instruction does not require rewiring: it requires wiring in the first place. You don't have to manipulate or change anything that is already here - you just have to believe and know. The blocks in our subconscious are temporary. We're scared of removing them because we're afraid of opportunity - if I could create my reality, what would I do? We should stop doubting ourselves and leap - leap before you look. All the greats said it - if you're in control, you're not going fast enough.
The future is in your hands - all you have to do is grasp it.

This reminds me of something Mother Teresa once said.
