How to Walk... duh....

Dear Reader:

I am going to teach you how to walk. Well, that's patently ridiculous so what am I on about. Let me share a contemplation that you can do while walking... and you might experience quite a change in your experience of such a simple thing.

So, first off, go for a walk, but make sure that it's a pretty simple path that you are familiar with. While you walk, your attention will, quite naturally, be on the environment, i.e., out there. Now as you walk, can you get a sense that you are creating the scene. It's true, that is what you are doing. Next, relax your focus and let your eyes slightly cross. While you do that, look at that is looking ''out''. I know it might sound strange, but just get a sense of what is ''in here''. (your ''here'', certainly not mine).

You start looking out then you look in at what was just looking out. Alternate this looking out and in. Don't think you know what your experience should be or will be ... just experience what arises. Also, I suggest you don't just do this once... stick with it and you will find something out... I can't tell you what, but you will find something out, and finding out stuff is fun.

Love ya, Jed.

Jed, what do you mean by “slightly cross your eyes”? Googled it, found a definition of some medical condition  :D

Jed McKenna:
One might describe it as ''hard'' and ''soft'' eyes. Relax your gaze. If there was a car accident in front of you then you would be focusing ''hard'' in order to see what happened. If you were relaxing in a field of flowers you focus would be ''soft''. That's about the best I can do to describe it.

Love ya, Jed.

Cheers
