Take a nice couple of deep breaths in your own rhythm please.
Adjust your posture to be comfortable if you haven't already.
It comes to me today on a journey to the other.
When you're walking down the street,
Not just a regular street,
Maybe in a town or a city nearby or where you live.
A couple hundred yards away you see someone you think you recognize.
You're not sure.
They're walking towards you,
You're walking towards them.
And as you get closer,
You're becoming more curious because you think you know them but you can't quite place them.
They haven't shown any signs that they recognize you yet,
Quite either.
You know the kind of moment.
And as you get closer and closer,
This feeling grows but you're still not sure.
And finally you get close enough where you're just about to sort out who it is and everything freezes.
Time stops.
They stop moving,
You stop moving.
Everything around you stops moving.
It's totally silent.
And then something very odd begins to happen.
As you're standing there regarding this other person and they're regarding you,
You begin to realize that you may be able to feel them.
That is,
You're feeling some kind of energy coming from them.
Could be anticipation,
Could be getting ready to greet you,
But you're not sure.
And perhaps they're feeling the same from you.
And in this frozen moment of time it just becomes perhaps more obvious.
This feeling is strong enough and everything is frozen,
Nobody is moving,
You decide to close your eyes to see if you can feel more of this.
And sure enough the feeling is more obvious,
More clear,
A felt sense,
An intuition.
There seems to be an energy field from them and from you,
Emanating,
Radiating.
You find this very curious and very different and you want to know more about it.
So you just pay attention for a moment in this brief second of frozen time.
And as you do that you begin to realize that it seems as if your energy fields are connecting,
Are somehow meeting in a way you don't quite understand.
But nonetheless it's happening.
And in the next moment you begin to sense that there's their energy field,
Your energy field,
And a third energy field that includes both of you.
And it feels somehow harmonious and comforting and peaceful.
Almost as if you're exchanging information with this other person beyond mind,
Beyond personality,
Beyond understanding but still real,
Still there.
And you begin to reflect on this as it's happening.
Wait a minute,
If I have an energy field and they have one and we create one together,
What does it mean to think that we're separate,
That they're over there and I'm over here?
Perhaps we've misunderstood.
And you feel this energy field,
Shared energy field growing as soon as you have that insight and that thought.
It gets stronger and stronger.
And so does your own field and apparently so does theirs.
To finally hit a moment where you can't really distinguish between where your energy field leaves off and theirs begins and therefore where you leave off and they begin.
You merge in a silent moment of oneness.
And then everything comes in motion again.
Sounds come back.
You start moving,
They start moving.
And you greet one another.
But having had this experience,
At least on your side of it,
That flash of the moment,
It's a very different conversation.
And I,
How are you?
And a connection.
Somehow it's got depths and dimension beyond anything you ever imagined.
And while it may still be a casual conversation,
It has more meaning.
You have a deeper connection,
Something worth exploring with all the so-called others in your life.
When you're ready,
Let all that go.
Give thanks.
Come back into the room and have a wonderful day.
