The Eyes we Look Through
Thank you for taking this next step in our process together. There are many parts of you watching. Each of them has a role to play. Each is doing their job to serve you. You may not have realized it fully, but every one of your personas is in service to you in their own way... even those that are responsible for precipitating your greatest pains in life. They have their way of service which they have executed with constant loyalty. Thank them for their service...I want to tell the one in you that needs to be in some sense of control to feel that it is at ease what's going on here. So let's re-cap:- I invited you to check out a process that is not so much about new information as it is about affecting the way we perceive the information in the body of the book.
- Perhaps it was your curiosity but the personas in you that were in favor of that were more energized than the one's in a hurry or wanting to get to the end so you said "yes."
- I have then guided you through an intuitive process known in some circles as "voice dialogue" that is much easier to do one on one but which may still have a profound impact just by reading.
- You are now here. And this is what is most interesting: How has the journey been for you? Are you shaken? Are you bored? Are you viewing it all through someone else's eyes and busy imagining what other readers might think and what I was thinking in presenting things in this way. What is important in our intention of deciding the eyes through which you view your world, is being conscious of who currently runs the show within you?
- So now I have a question for you: What have you learned from this process about what does and does not work for you? For this learning it does matter that all of this may be a complete waste of time from the perspective of your dominant personas. It does not matter if these pages have stimulated profound shifts in the ways you see your self and others. What matters here is why? What about these words specifically determines there value or lack of it to you. For the moment you can see that clearly you know who is talking among your many potential personas.
- And now we are going to proceed a little further - if you decide to come with me. I'm not sure exactly how. I will say that it will not take more than 20 minutes. Think about all the things you could do in 20 minutes that are wonderful and fun. Notice that "not more than 20 minutes" could also mean this will be over in two more minutes. Notice your reaction to the element of surprise. Has that traditionally been associated with trauma in your life? I am sorry for the times that like has shocked and hurt you. Or perhaps surprise is exciting and it is your adventurer that has journeyed on these pages and can't wait to see what's next. Appreciate who shows up for you here, including the apathetic and despondent persona that does not believe anything can happen but still goes through the motions out of some long forgotten hope or for some other reason.
What did you decide? Are you coming?
