“The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.”
–William James
Today in our travels, we moved past the mountains and into big sky country. Where the mountain seems to contract its energy to better expand life on its surface, the prairies expand as far as the eye can see. The colours seem almost monochromatic at first and then you see amazing shading, detail and variety. My outlook on this trip also seems to contract and then expand, first withdrawing inward until needed and then forcing myself outward to talk to strangers in restaurants, to interact with my family and to enjoy everything external to me. If I have the internalized energy of the mountain, I need to balance it with my ever expanding prairie sense and realize that they are two facets of the same stone.

“Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.”
― William James
So as I type this, are there two people here, who i am and who i perceive myself to be (that in itself may be multiple as how I see myself tends to change) or are there even more. one or more of me for each one reading this? What do we have in common? If I have integrity then perhaps my selves do not vary that much yet I believe we see things and others as we are not as they are therefore I partake at least by proxy and become at least a bit all of you. Of course then if the act of being observed changes the subject of observation than I become altered by your view of me. Interaction used to seem a lot simpler =)
Yet I can’t control how you see me or even how i see myself, ego and emotions being what they are so therefore I shall have to focus on being myself as clearly and as focused as I can. After all are you not all as I perceive you to be?
Blessings, G
