One of my personal favorite awareness-raising exercises is that of consciously (intentionally) shifting my focus away from my ego-level experience (Jason), and into a more expansive and cosmic one.
Let me explain this a little more clearly:
One of the most common things about the human experience is our ability to blow completely trivial things out of proportion, and this is almost always due to our social conditioning.
A conditioned expectation will yield a conditioned response, which yields to conditioned actions, and thus conditioned results.
All the things we’re conditioned to believe to be important – our job, social status, relationship status, your environmentally-healthy diet, etc. – are absolutely insignificant from the larger perspective.
We are flying through deep space, at hundreds of thousands of miles an hour, orbiting a nuclear reactor (with several other planets orbiting it), all moving through space like a chaotic cosmic kaleidoscope.
