Awhile ago, I was lying on a friend's floor and looked up at a world map mounted on the wall. From my vantage point, South was up and North was down - as opposed to the way most maps and globes are oriented. It struck me that our sense of up and down and direction are more a part of cultural bias than any galactic or universal reality. My friend actually went so far as to permanently reposition his map with the South Pole at the top - much the same as it may appear from outer space - or not.
There is a significant mindset difference in identifying things as 'backwards' as opposed to 'reversed'. Take a moment to reverse the way you look at your world and see where it leads you. Here's a video to help get you started - "The Known Universe"
