This is a good topic because I know we are all interconnected yet life seems to always want to enable the feeling of separateness. There are times when I feel this sense of oneness with all creation, and it is a good feeling. It can happen during meditation, astral work, and the like. However, sometimes it washes over me when I'm driving a car, or looking at the sky. It can just happen for no apparent reason as well.
In any event, the important work is to remind myself that the sense of separateness is the feeling I need to move away from.
Very best,
Focusing on millions of connections to your body while in the trance state normally works for me.
becoming aware of the energy going into and out of your environment and realizing that you are only a part of your self
oh, and sex, really good food and melting into the night sky... those are good too
having a silent mind while in nature.
Sitting on a sea wall and feeling the powerful energy from the ocean waves. It just puts a big smile on my face. Knowing when I'm in the aware state of mind, living in the now and notice many things that most people take for granted and overlook. Realizing just a thought sometimes is followed by the answer.
Peace
So what are things that dislodge your sense of "self"? That feeling on individuality... The Atman... the feeling of being seperate from everything else. You know, like when you feel a oneness with all creation or when you feel like you're observing your body or mind from afar.
So, what are things that dislodge that sense? There are thousands of things, or so I think. I'll start the list off.
