How to Apply This
-
Imagine you are leaving your body and floating up in the sky
Higher and higher. You see yourself, your house, your neighborhood, other people, your town with its lake and river until your body seems like a tiny seed, and further you go to see your country, the ocean, and even the whole planet. -
Realize that your problem is insignificant compared to the universe
This exercise helps you recognize yourself as a part of the whole. You see all human things from far above, like a bird first, and then like an astronaut. Your massive problem suddenly gets utterly insignificant compared to the vastness of the universe.
