Dissolve the image of ‘body’ and imagine a fanciful patterned energy matrix. This modifies the value of perception, realigning the preconceived notions of that labelled ‘animal, human, tree, and plant’.
“I remember looking like them. What’s covers their bodies again?”
When your ‘inner animal’ stops being ‘human’, your totem becomes elemental, and you don’t call other souls ‘animal’!
All words are a symptom of ego. There’s no getting around it. Not realizing the very words we use act to inflame our ego leaves us further from being present. Even saying that we’re ‘taming the ego’ appears as if we’re constructed a deeper ego to control the lighter one. The language of ego is all language thought and spoken. By its nature, it HAS TO reflect ego. Knowing this, we can move around it, understanding its nature and feeling into the reality of 'taming the ego' as NOT an additional layer of a more tricky clever cunning small-self reflections.
Nature is the present. So when we go there aligned with the first energetic center, we’ve re-entered the playground, and a richer joy is experienced within our sojourn into creation, experience, time, and space.
If the present is pure, there is no duality.
