Getting to the Beauty
September 25th, 2006
This talk is really an exercise looking at the split between internal/external, and thinking/experiencing. I discuss the words below and ask you to identify with each word as I do.
| thinking | experiencing |
| form | feeling |
| outer | inner |
| external | internal |
| different | similar |
| motion | stillness |
| time | now |
| attachment | freedom |
| expectation | actual |
| them | us |
| you | we |
| disconnect | awareness |
First we go one by one down the rows identifying with each side. Then we look at the left column, and identifying with all those states of being. Lastly we look at the right column.
The point of this is to show that we often find ourselves living external thinking lives only. We should balance that with the internal feeling experience from time to time. Being able to dance freely between these different states of identification is a deep fundamental shift.
