Piet, Rod and Steven,
When
initially presenting
my plan to work with the working hypothesis, I had stated that I would
be
present with whatever would unfold. When starting to work with my
initial
proposal, a shift occurred that
I would
now like to explain.
The proposal now occurs
in two
stages:
a) Initially start
trying to
detect the physical tension associated to desires, wishes, judgments, recollections
of the past
and expectations of the future in a different way than the one we are
used to
in our ordinary state of consciousness. The attempt is to observe the
tension
devoid of the content of the narrative associated to it. It´s a
shift of
awareness away from the content of the situation.
b) Once we
can diminish
the identifications with the content of the present situation, we
can
then ask ourselves the questions "Who am I?" , "Who is
that present at this very moment?" These questions are a
way
to break through the mental and emotional barriers that separate us
from the
truth of who we really are. A way to break with the limited perception
of who
we are.
