The World as Inkblot


...from the Field Center

If you want to develop your non-local awareness,
begin approaching the world as representing
your consciousness.

For example: If a billboard catches your eye,
consider how its meaning may go beyond the obvious.

Regard it symbolically, and see if this provides
a new angle of vision or insight
into whatever’s going on in your life.



Remember, the Field is holographic.


Another idea: When you’re listening to songs, hear the lyrics
as though either you’re talking to the Field
or the Field is talking to you.



It may surprise you how directly the meaning of the words
will speak
to a specific situation you’re facing.



The key to living non-locally is to realize
that everything is metaphor,

and that nothing that gets your attention
is insignificant.



G.K. Chesterton writes that fairy tales describe apples of gold
and rivers of wine
to remind us how amazed we were the first time we discovered
that apples were red and rivers ran with water.

The ability to see the world as metaphor, with new eyes,
marks a return to innocence and receptivity
that can never be experienced
within the endless replay of old conclusions.

The world is new each moment.

The only question is, do we have the eyes to see,
and the ears to hear?
