In this stage, you often feel like a consciousness trapped inside this body. You can feel the difference between your body and your consciousness. As you practice connecting to each moment, connecting within that moment to your intuition, and starting to feel the sameness in all things, reach out within that connection, and feel what it it like to be these other people. Put yourself energetically in their place. What does it feel like to be them in this moment? It is a subtle feeling. It is not intense. But if you focus, and practice, you can feel within your gut, what it feels like to be them. Does it feel confident? Insecure? Joyful? Playful?\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, have an open mind here. This exercise has an important point… feel what it is like to BE that table, or that chair or that plant. Does it feel stable, heavy, low, tall, fragile, cold, warm, metalic? Can you feel the qualities of the wood or plastic or leaves without touching it?\u00a0\u00a0Spend a little time looking around the room and FEEL what it is like to BE other people, places and things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have completed the previous tasks, you will be surprised to find you can feel it. You can feel what it is like to be anyone, or anything. Previously you could IMAGINE what it was like to be them, or at least what you would feel like if that were you, but this is different… you can actually\u00a0put your energy in their place and FEEL their truth in this moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time to question… how can you do that? How is it that you can place your consciousness into theirs? How can you step into their consciousness with yours?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it is the same consciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about the oceans and rivers of the world. They are all connected. Rivers flow into oceans, which flow into other oceans, and connect to other rivers. It is all one big body of water. But, the Mississippi River looks and acts very different from the Caribbean Sea. Why? Local environments significantly influence the nature of these rivers and oceans. Local environments influence how they look, how fast they flow, what fish live there, how they are used and more. It is the same with people. We are all one big consciousness, but our local environments (as a child and today) influence how we look, how we act, and what we do in this world. We are extensions of the same single consciousness, each influenced by our local environments, but one all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Contemplate this. As you are deeply connected to this moment, ask your intuition if this is true. Ask if you are ready to allow this. This is a big step. Take your time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
