Fully experiencing the other

I want to fully experience others... get out of the head, into the body, into the heart ... take the feeling and make it something OUT THERE...

    A great technique: Stare into someone's eyes for 3 minutes... enjoy the ride. lots of layers to go in thru and back out again. No talking, occasional giggles OK.

      it's all about the raw experience
      feeling so centered in that moment
      that perception extends beyond out body
      and interacting with the world around us

      with others
      it's intensity is unbelievable
      and dreamlike
      as every moment passes
      you'd realize you're not thinking
      if you were thinking

      ...
      i strive for this all the time
      but it takes a lot of clearing of clutter
      and reminding yourself
      of how beautiful those feelings are


      ......
      i had an intense experience at magic mountain in socal
      very sober and no lines(it was super bowl sunday)
      we went on ride after ride
      and without waiting for the lines
      the energy just accumulated
      and by the time we got off the 6th ride
      i felt sooooo alive
      more alive than in years it felt
      so close with the air around me
      so vividly in the moment
      so out of my head
      and inside my body
      it is sooo beautiful this life
      it's crazy that we put so much up in between us and raw experience
      well, time to tear those walls down

      =)

      mmm

      you want a trip, stare into YOUR OWN eyes (in a mirror) for awhile. See how long you can do it. Depending on what experience you're coming from (i.e. inebriated or ), it can be a weird experience!

        ...to see yourself in the faces of others...

        i've no answer really. just the same question.

      i did that once with a friend for an hour or more, just staring into eachother's eyes from a couple metres away as dusk slowly came in and the streetlight and subdued lighting kicked in...

      trying not to blink at all, just squinting a little to reduce the need for blinking, and to reduce useless texture information. [i have very good vision -this intereferes with my "seeing" - and squinting helps it greatly!]

      she started changing colours after 3 minutes,
      [i'm talking about black, purple, green, gold, white, beige & red here]
      and constantly i saw her as different ages, sexes, and body-type - one morphing into the other.
      She became everyone she had ever been - through all these dimensions.

      the longer you can put up with the itching of unblinked eyes - the stronger the effect!

      it's as intense as making love with someone with eyes locked the whole time!!

      It backed up the suspicion i have that when people talk about "past lives" that these are just simultaneous dimensions that we all live in...


      seriously, i'm not taking about taking any "perceptual boosters"

      Our friendship became VERY close after that - the trust and honesty we shared afterward over the years catapulted to territories we had never dreamed of experiencing with eachother. We could have a nasty stupid little arguement of the kind that gets friends not talking for a week, and after 5 seconds immediately segue right into just talking about our experience and frustration, and hearing the other out in kind - and resolving it seconds later!!!


      I reccomend this to anyone who wants to take the leap with their friend and become REAL with 'em!

        I also wanted to say, I've been present for maybe 50 couples doing this exercise at various times and what you report, Roland, about seeing the colors and seeing people as different ages, races, sexes, SPECIES... it happens all the time! Yep, pretty cool.
