Jerry&#8217;s email<\/p>\n<p>I told him: That&#8217;s a 24 hour 7 day a week job *smile*\u00a0 That&#8217;s where daily meditation really comes into play.\u00a0 To let me touch base and check in with reality twice a day, no matter what.\u00a0 To spend as much time as I am able with no external input, no voices, no talking.\u00a0 Doing that turns it all into a movie for me and lets me see objectively what I am doing and what is happening around me.\u00a0 It gives me that observer stance. When I have that observer stance, I naturally become more mindful. When I become more mindful, things start clicking into place, troubles drop away, opportunities find me.\u00a0 It turns into a viscous cycle of clarity and serenity.<\/p>\n<p>Give me more of that any day.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; color: #8000ff;\">,\u00b8\u00b8,\u00f8\u00a4\u00ba\u00b0`\u00b0\u00ba\u00a4 :\u00a6:-<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/CD_Page\/Downloads.html\" target=\"_blank\">OOBE &#8211; Out of Body Experience $10 mp3<\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Arial; color: #8000ff;\">\u00f8\u00a4\u00ba\u00b0`\u00b0\u00ba\u00a4 :\u00a6:- <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Free mp3 file<\/em><\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/CD_Page\/Universal_Manager.html\" target=\"_blank\">Universal Manager<\/a> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>with $10 purchase<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Arial; color: #8000ff;\">\u00f8\u00a4\u00ba\u00b0`\u00b0\u00ba\u00a4 :\u00a6:- <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsmagazine.com\/CD_Page\/Downloads.html\" target=\"_blank\">New &#8211; Stop Smoking \u00a0 $10 mp3<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/seeing-beyond-the-illusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Seeing beyond the illusion&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/seeing-beyond-the-illusion\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/seeing-beyond-the-illusion\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/seeing-beyond-the-illusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Seeing%20beyond%20the%20illusion&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/seeing-beyond-the-illusion\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, April 16, 2009.
