Do Thoughts Create Our Experience of Reality?

"What do you mean when you sometimes talk about how we half create, half perceive the world? Rupert says: ‘When I quote William Wordsworth saying we “half create, half perceive the world”, I’m saying something more fundamental than simply that our thoughts and emotions affect the way we experience the world . . . Your perceiving faculties create not the reality of the world, not what the world is in and of itself, but they create its appearance . . . If you look at white snow through orange-tinted glasses, it will appear orange . . . So if you are completely miserable and depressed . . . that’s going to affect not the reality, but the appearance of the world. Next day, you fall madly in love, that’s a different pair of glasses . . . you’re looking at the same reality, but you’re going to see it in a way that is consistent with this new quality of your own mind.’"
