Become each being
Feel the consciousness of each person as your own consciousness. This will be difficult because first you have to feel the person as a person, as a conscious being. Even that is difficult. First feel that the other is conscious, and then this can happen – you can feel that the other has the same consciousness that you have. Really, the ‘other’ disappears, only a consciousness flows between you and him. You become two poles of one consciousness flowing, of one current.
In deep love it happens that the two persons are not two. Something between the two has come into being and they have just become two poles. Something is flowing between the two. When this flow is there you will feel blissful. If love gives bliss, it gives bliss only because of this: that two persons, just for a single moment, lose their egos – the ‘other’ is lost and oneness comes into being just for a single moment. If it happens, it is ecstatic, it is blissful, you have entered paradise. Just a single moment, and it can be transforming.
This technique says that you can do this with every person. In love you can do it with one person, but in meditation you have to do it with every person. Whosoever comes near you, simply dissolve into him and feel that you are not two lives, but one life, flowing. This is just changing the gestalt. Once you know how, once you have done it, it is very easy. In the beginning it seems impossible because we are so stuck in our own egos. It is difficult to lose it, difficult to become a flow. So it will be good if in the beginning you try with something that you are not very scared or afraid of.
Become the tree, become the river, become the wife, become the husband, become the child, become the mother, become the friend – Then this can happen with the whole universe. It can be practiced every moment of life. Whatsoever passes around you become that. You will wonder how it can happen. There is no other way to know how it can happen – you have to practice it.
Once you enter this world of empathy the whole world will look crazy to you. They are missing so much unnecessarily. Life gives in such abundance and they are missing it, because they are closed: they don’t allow life to enter into them. And life can enter you only if you enter life through many, many ways, through many paths, through multi-dimensions.
