Have you ever had someone look at you with absolutely no judgment?
That moment, when someone actually sees you for you, all of you, and knows that nothing is, was, or ever will be wrong with you, changes everything.
Experiencing this can be one of the most caring, nurturing and even seductive experiences in the world.
There are even psychological studies that suggest it only takes four minutes of direct eye contact for strangers to fall in love.
Recently Amnesty International took this one step further. They tested the 4 min idea in a more fragile situation; the refugee crisis in Europe and the increasing xenophobia.
They asked a number of Europeans and refugees to stare into each other’s eyes for 4 minutes.
This is what happened:
See, we’ve been trained to start every new encounter by a series of judgment to determine where this person fits into our pre-defined version of reality. We’ve basically been programmed to separate.
What if that training is what is in the way for a different future of the world?
What if oneness is actually much easier than you’ve ever imagined?
What if just a few minutes of eye contact could create that space of no judgment when you can see who this person actually…be?
Would you be willing to try this out? Today?
Ask someone, maybe even someone you’re not having an easy time with, to share a gaze with you for four minutes.
No other instructions or distractions. Put a timer on, stay present and look into each other’s eyes.
When you live in and with a reality that is the direct anti-thesis of you as a being, at certain point you get really, really angry. Ever notice?
What if what you feel as “anger” is actually the power and potency required to create dynamic change?
What do you do with it? Well, next time you feel angry, instead of holding on and maintaining the anger, you can ask these two questions:
“Is this anger or is this the demand for change?”
and…
“What can I be or do that will allow this to change?”
The President of the United States, Barack Obama, recently chose to be and do something different with his “anger” … and it’s one of the best examples I’ve seen that illustrates what is truly possible when you use your potency and demand for change to create something greater in the world!
Have you noticed that more people are waking up around you?
That change is faster?
That your connection to the planet is greater?
That your tolerance for stupidity has severely diminished?
