Framework and interpretation

We all live our lives with a wide variety of interactions and experiences. The culture in which we happen to live, in large part, controls how we interpret these various situations.  Growing up in America, someone will have a very materialistic, comfort centered way of thinking that will be motivated and driven by this worldview.  Someone in agricultural India or Asia will obviously be different, very likely moving in Buddhist or Hindu circles and frame of thought.
I have been thinking lately about reality and how we interpret it.  Regardless of one's desire to be ecumenical or politically correct, there is only one reality.  The reason there are so many different religions and worldviews is not because of different realities, but differing interpretations.  There is only one framework that constitutes reality.  How honestly, thoroughly or consistently we interpret that framework will determine which worldview we embrace.  Without going into the details of why we interpret dishonestly or inconsistently, the fact is, the whole thing is a vicious circle. We interpret the framework because of our worldview and our worldview is molded by our interpretation of the facts.  The biggest challenge is to be able to step outside of our framework and consider from a different angle.  There may be facts that we have ignored or are ignorant of.  There may be certain beliefs that we have embraced either consciously or unconsciously, that prevent us from moving in a particular direction or seeing certain things.
My suggestion is this. Start asking questions such as"why".  "Why do I believe x, y, or x?"  "Why do I do thing a, b or c?"  As you ask yourself a question, also seek out how others have answered the same question.  When you have answered that question, ask the question that supports that answer.  Eventually you will come into some very difficult philosophical questions and that is okay.
This is especially interesting when we come to interpreting religious or spiritual experiences.  These experiences fully depend upon the worldview we have embraced.  We have nothing else upon which to lean.  We have no other frame of reference to look to.
Reality is what it is.  It is our responsibility to get it right.
