Excerpt from Session 1881, December 4, 2005:
Question from DALE: Lately I’ve been watching the clouds float by the treetops, the rooftops, the scenery. Then I watch the treetops, the rooftops, the scenery, float by the clouds. The first time I allowed this I lost my balance as if I was not experiencing the equilibrium I am most familiar with. With practicing I am allowing myself to move from the one perception to the other more seamlessly. To me this is a brilliantly simple exercise to practice moving attention, to experience how moving attention alters perception, and to become more comfortable with unfamiliars. Please comment.
ELIAS: My comment is a validation and an encouragement to her in her allowance of herself to trust her ability and an encouragement of her to be continuing in her experimentation for this is another action of shifting.
