IMAGINE yourself sited in a very comfortable light-brown leather sofa inside of a nice and warm coffee shop.
Outside, the weather is cold and windy, from time to time a drizzle of rain patches the pavement with different tones. Right in front of you there's a big window and you get to see all the movement in the street. People coming and going completely unaware that you're observing the scene and you enjoy the drama of life unfolding in front of your eyes, like if it were created just for your own entreatment.
Because no one is looking at you and live their lives completely unaware of your existence it has the same feeling as if you were watching TV.
You have become an outsider of your own dimension. Just for a second you don't belong to the world outside as you now can watch it from a distance. Total dis-attachment from the events on the other side of the window, your mind is not judging only observing.
As you continue observing the world outside the window you start to notice certain feelings within yourself. You realise that every person, every car, every plant and corner, every element of the outside world creates a feeling within yourself. Something that you never noticed before as you were used to be invisible to the world and therefore the world be invisible to you.
Living in big cities makes specially interesting the fact how we have programmed ourselves to be surrounded by so many people and still feel alone. We read the newspapers and the tragic chaos happening to others and we feel nothing.
But this time is different, now you are an observer of the world out there and since you are taking the time to take it in that makes you feel for what's going on and that's why you're feeling those feelings within yourself as you observe the world around you.
Paradoxically, the more you remove yourself from the drama the more you belong to the world around you.
As you feel the emotions from looking at, now you are felt as well. You realise that people are now starting to look at you. You're not longer invisible. You are not longer anonymous.
This makes you feel uncomfortable and you look away every time you catch someone looking directly at you. For seconds your eyes meet and you feel the chills as if this person could feel what you're feeling. But why is that?
Could it be, maybe, because you're feeling what's this person's feeling and viseversa ?
This thought makes you get confused when you try it to understand but kind of makes sense when you just feel the feeling that's been created.
As you look away, you feel like you missed a chance to make some deep spiritual contact with this stranger. Why didn't I smile? -You ask yourself. Why did I look away? Why do i feel insecure? What else could I've done with that opportunity to connect?
These and many more questions pass through your head while still comfortably sited on the leather sofa.
You're still safe and warm inside the coffee shop when you feel someone is looking at you. This time you don't look away in shyness while in a fraction of a second you get a smile from the person meters away looking at you.
You feel good, the moment elevates your spirit and made you feel powerful, beautiful and strong. You know it means nothing but just a smile. A kind way to acknowledge a stranger looking at you.
You have no idea how this happened and try not to understand it as you simply enjoyed this new way to relate to the outside world. A world that once was unknown to you but now feels just a little closer to your heart and that makes you feel invincible.
It only took a moment but you learnt your lesson. Now you want to practice more to dis-attach from the drama, become an observer of the world around you, while connecting the dots of your feelings and emotions.
You feel superman with the power to disappear and appear whenever you want.
WELL DONE!!!
