All things are made of the same stuff.

We humans, especially those from western countries, like to view ourselves as existing outside of the world. We're here and the world is there. Even our religions speak of being in the world but not of it. While the passage from the christian bible was referring more to the world humans create around themselves, which is, in fact, only a miniscule part of the world. In the newest experiments in physics it was determined that the viewer somehow changes the results of the experiment. The scientist is not merely a neutral observer, but somehow connected to the things being done. 


This is a reality that we humans seem to constantly try to escape. Maybe pride? maybe fear of life? Maybe something else? 

The only real way to lead a whole life, once one has achieved internal integration, re-assumed responsibility for oneself, begun to harmonize with oneself, and then begun to trust life, is to see that the world is one, and we are a part of that one. In acceptance of that, we can begin to feel things changing in our world and surroundings. And find that deep connection between ourselves and life. Only then is a path towards wholeness open. Our intuition and extended kinesthetic sense begin to work far better if not clouded by the idea that there is some other thing out there. 


I like to end my hypnosis sessions with a variation of a meditation we do in Bujinkan. Basically the meditation starts with an induction and then reduces perception to one of the five senses. I like to go through them all. Spend some time feeling where one is, the chair, one's clothing, the wind etc.. and just feel it. Then smell, then taste, then hearing.. after that a reorientation into the place where one is, then to spend a few minutes just observing one's surroundings. not identifying anything, not speaking to oneself, just seeing. And then you’ll see, there is no goal, there is no meaning, there is no purpose… life is itself all of these things.
