Intuitive Exercise Step Two Instructions: (01/04/08) (c). If you would like a methodic approach, try these intuitive tips: You are in a dark theatre and suddenly dim lights come on. You look around and notice there is noone in the entire theatre but you: (Begins) 1. Notice: A film is starting, but there is no introduction. 2. The film starts in the middle of the plot instead of the beginning. Now, you notice from the film that you hear no voices nor sound effects, but there is background music. 3. Just by observing you can tell that an event took place moments before the film began and so you must discern it after the fact on your own. To get this perspective you observe what is happening on the screen to perceive the emotional atmosphere. 4. Name the feelings that make up the film's emotional atmosphere. 5. If upon the screen you see people interacting or carrying out a mission, what does the mission or activity remind you of? Does a book, film, poem, song, or past experience come to mind? Write that down 6. Suddenly you are no longer seated in the theatre, instead you are in the film as a character with an omniscient view, a part of the scene, but hovering above like a surveilance sky camera. At this point, not only are there no voices nor sound effects, but now, there is no music – silence. All that you perceive must come from the emotion conveyed within the scene's thought atmosphere. 7. Your view descends from above to the ground. Now, you are in the scene, a part of the environment walking around in real time, but noone notices you. It is clear you are viewing the aftermath of an experience shared by those in this scene, and you are an invisible witness. 8. While walking through this scene observing people, places, and things, you soak in every detail for the sake of discovering what just happened. 9. You decide to be still and wait. You continue your vigilent watch, your eyes focusing on whatever catches your attention from one moment to the next. 10. Do the people in this scene have something in common? Write down what you feel! 11. Take a moment to correlate all that you observed. Is there a story line unfolding? Connect your impressions like connecting the dots. Is there a book, film, TV show, song, a painting, historic event or personal experience you could use to help identify what you see and feel in your mind's eye? For instance, you may say aloud, “The emotion I am getting from the scene in my mind's eye is ____ ,and I am reminded of a personal experience where….” or…. For instance, you may say aloud, “The emotion I am getting from the scene in my mind's eye is ____ ,and I am reminded of a book I read, called….” (Ends) Follow this guideline, if you'd like! Have fun! Please post your intuitive impression from the Collective Perspective as a reply to this thread. |

First it went to like a gang of people, young, twenties or thirties up to 'trouble' then it went back, back to a school house. A group of boys were circled around, they were playing stick ball, wack, the boy hit the ball dead on. You can hear the talking a laughter of the children. Then it moved it a group of girls dancing in a circle singing 'ring around the rosie', going around in circles, cheerful smiles, warm voices, after a small group ran past playing the game with a stick and that wooden circle thing, the game is to keep the circle going by moving it along with the stick, can't remember what it's called. |

It's raining in the desert. A man is getting wet and he is not making any effort to find shelter. It's warm and he is with his friends. They have work to do. The rain is neither hindering nor causing any burden on the group as they work together. |

I smell cigarette smoke. I'm inside a car. I see trees whizzing by, filtered sunlight. It feels like the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. I find myself mystified by that – don't know why that impression is so strong. Driving north from the southern end. There is no conversation in the car. There are three people. I'm seated in the back, behind the front passenger. The front pasenger is a man. Brown fedora. Stern expression. I can't see the driver – sense that it's masculine. The front passenger is the one who's smoking. He clears his throat and looks out the window as he flicks his ash into the ashtray on the dashboard. Still getting a 1960s-era impression. These people know each other, and they work together. There is an absolute absence of conversation in the car, but there is a sense of togetherness. Not familial, but more like co-workers. The seats are two-toned leather, with stitching. The back seat is a bench-like seat. I can smell the leather and cigarette smoke. It's a sunny day, but the windows are up and everyone is wearing a coat. The leaves are green on the trees, so perhaps it's spring. |

I saw a man and a woman walk into a nice, cozy restaurant. As they entered the restaurant they walked into the bar area of the restaurant - the dining tables were in the back on the other side of the bar. As they walked through the bar area towards their table they focused in on a table of 4 women. All of the women were talking on their cell phones instead of each other. This struck the couple as odd … and in that moment I was reminded of my first day working in San Francisco years ago. I worked in one of the high rises in the downtown area. It was a sunny, slightly windy, and warm day. I decided to eat my lunch outside and take in the area around me. As I was eating my lunch I looked around and noticed a lot of people outside eating their lunch but, sitting alone. Some were listening to music, others talking on their cell phones, and still others reading their books. It struck me as odd because I didn't see anyone around me who was sitting and talking with another human being. Everyone was alone … into their own space…. the only connection taking place was a few people talking on their cell phones … rapid, but thin connections ….. |

Collective: The scene is exactly the same as I posted on the individual perspective. A mass of faceless people.The slight difference is, that it is more defined and I perceive these people to be more alive, starting to see their faces animate, still slowly walking tighly together in one cluster. The atmosphere and energy is subtlely changing. |

At first I saw a big modern city with alot of people together struggling-like too many for one small place. Then when you said to go to a karmic group it zoomed to the same period as before with the war and the boy . But this time the dead bodies of the sons were being brought home to the mothers ,sisters and daughters on the plantations. The women were sobbing with tears rolling down their faces. They drop to their knees with sorrow as their bodies give out from the emotional pain. Anger fear,hated,confusion is felt from the mothers cursing to god,- Why are we doing this? what are we doing ? Is it really going to bring us together? Useless Useless Useless |

…I am watching a clan or family…caucasian or cro magnun…definately blue race…going about their daily business…slowly almost imperceptably at first the scene around them starts to morph …then their clothing/costumes…slowly …slowly then gradually accellerateing …their actions move as fluidity and normal but the changes around them move at break neck speed…as if two movies…one slow motion …and one very fast …are super-imposed over one another… |

I was observing a burial. That of ritual. It is outside in a wooded area. People standing around, but I do not see their faces, I only notice their feet. Bare feet. |
