Switching bodies

4/17/2016

I was just on Facebook and saw a clip of Russian ballet dancers...and I thought "what would it feel like to be in a body with power, that doesn't get tired, that has that coordination and skill"...what would it feel like????  
I know that your own perspective and perception is how our world is flavored.  I think it is only natural to want to compare.  And I think it is healthy to "walk a mile in someone else's shoes".  What if we discovered it doesn't feel all that different from our own bodies?  What if we learn that everyone feels this way in the morning?  What if we would see there isn't any difference after all (or very few)?  A man could feel what it is like to be a woman and vice versa.  I really would like to experience someone else's body.  Maybe I could let go of some of my own uncertainties.  If nothing else I would know what it feels like so that I could strive for that feeling again in my own body, or not.
It is a common recommendation for us to try to think from someone else's perspective so that we can understand when we are in conflict.  What progress we could make if we could switch homes of our spiritual essence to reside in someone else's body for a time.  Where is the magic for this spell?
I know all the villains of the world would want to take advantage of this, but it would still be nice to experience for so many reasons.
What are your thoughts?  Have you ever felt this way?

Look up!

I just had an interesting experience at the grocery store.  The Check-out Clerk didn't look up.  She started her scanning and bagging without even looking up at me.  I had reusable bags in my hand which she didn't see so I had to stop her bagging and tell her to please use my bags.  So she picks the biggest bag and just starts shoving things in as she scans them.  Now I walked to the store, my list wasn't long and I live a block away.  I purposely brought bags that would go over my shoulders well.  One of which was a denim bag to handle the heavy stuff.  Now I hadn't intended to, but ended up finding a frozen turkey breast.  So I stopped her again and said wait, please put the heavy things in the denim bag.  She was confused and didn't know which items those where....it goes on, but the whole experience was her in a zombie state.  
It's no wonder zombies are so popular now, that is what we've become.  We just go through the routine.  We are checked out.  Now we both stayed polite, I wasn't upset, she didn't seem to be.  But it was fascinating to me how much smoother her job would go if she looked up and invested some attention into her surroundings and job.  No it's not the most glorious job, but I've worked a register before, people are generally happy they came and got what they needed and are now ready to leave.  I worked at a crafts store and people were also excited to tell me what they were going to do with their purchases.  But you have to look up.  It won't slow you down.  It will make your time go faster and your experience richer even if you don't like what you are doing.
Take the time to look up, focus, observe...what have you been missing????  Why have we stopped investing in our lives?  Is it really that bad?  And if it is that bad what inspiration or connections are you missing because you've checked out?
