Intuitive Exercise Step Two Instructions: (01/18/08) (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. |

…I see a train travelling across the plain states…it's the 1800's and they are going through Indian country…the cars are filled with city folks enjoying the trip…someone comes in saying they've spotted a herd of buffalo so everyone goes up top…a open-top double decker train car…rifles are brought and the men start shooting at the herd…in the distance you can start to see the animals drop…the scene cuts away to reveal Indians on a hillside watching in helpless anger as the train continues on…leaveing a field on dead bison…they wait as white buffalo hunters work through the field taking what they want… |
