A Different Calculus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thought Experiment:
\n(or, if You haven\u2019t
\ntaken root
\nin your
\nfavorite end
\nof the couch,
\nconsider an
\nactual
\nperformance:)<\/p>\n

Stand in
\nfront of
\nyour mirror
\nand observe
\nyour Self
\nin there.<\/p>\n

Except
\nthat\u2019s not
\nthe You
\nthat\u2019s
\nactually You.<\/p>\n

Imagine
\nstepping back
\none more
\ndegree of
\nAwareness,<\/p>\n

such that
\nthe You
\nthat\u2019s actually You
\nis observing You
\nobserving You
\nin the
\nmirror.<\/p>\n

Imagine
\nfurther that
\nanytime
\nYou wish
\nYou can be
\nAware
\nof You
\nobserving You
\nin this
\nmirror
\nwe call
\nEarth.<\/p>\n

I wonder if
\nthis
\nUltimate You
\noperates with
\na different
\ncalculus of
\nFear and Love
\nthan that
\nto which
\nYou are
\naccustomed?<\/p>\n
