Kaleidoscope Effect: A cognitive and perceptual phenomenon where an individual views their specific religion or belief system as the exclusive truth, thereby limiting their awareness of broader, universal spiritual concepts, such as God = Light + Awareness. This effect can cause individuals to focus narrowly on the patterns and teachings within their own religious framework, much like how a kaleidoscope presents a single, fragmented view, rather than recognizing the interconnected and expansive nature of spiritual reality.
This metaphor captures the idea that, while a kaleidoscope offers beautiful and intricate patterns, it can also restrict one’s view to those patterns alone, obscuring the larger, more unified picture. By naming this effect, you highlight the importance of transcending religious exclusivity to embrace a more inclusive understanding of spirituality.
“Many people experience the kaleidoscope effect, where they see their own religion as the sole path to truth, preventing them from embracing the broader concept of God as Light and Awareness beyond religious boundaries.”
