Understanding Life from the Inside Out
You’re not living in the world—you’re living in the way it appears to you.
Hi, I’m Eric Haney, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
This space is dedicated to exploring one simple, quietly radical truth:
We don’t experience life as it is—we experience life as it’s created within us.
Moment by moment, our world is being shaped not from the outside in, but from the inside out—through perception, thought, and awareness. What we call “reality” is a living creation of the mind, constantly shifting, deeply personal, and often invisible to us while we’re in it.
For much of my life, I looked outside for peace, fulfillment, and answers. Like most people, I thought if I could just get the right circumstances, the right mindset, the right version of myself, then I’d feel okay.
But everything changed when I began to see through the illusion that my experience was coming from the world. It wasn’t. It was being created in me, moment to moment.
That insight didn’t make life perfect—but it made it lighter.
It brought clarity.
And it offered a kind of freedom that doesn’t depend on conditions.
This newsletter is a place to explore that freedom together—not by learning new techniques or trying to control your thinking, but by seeing more clearly how the whole experience of life is being brought to life inside of you.
Whether you're brand new to the Inside-Out understanding or you've been walking this path for a while, I hope what you find here feels like a deep exhale.
Because once you see the trick, you can stop trying to fix the show.
Warmly,
Eric Haney
