Let me tell you a quick story…
There was once a car accident with 35 eye witnesses. None of their stories collaborated, corroborated, nor matched. Yet every account was correct.
How is this possible?
Each person had a different standpoint, a different position and their own unique perspective. Each person saw the event over a different period of time. Each person saw the event through their own emotional filters.
Much in the same way that you can have multiple people looking at an object from different angles and seeing something entirely different.
You can have someone at the bottom of the mountain, and at the top of the mountain looking at an object in the distance. The person’s view from the bottom may be skewered by the branches. The person’s view from the top may be blocked by the clouds. Whether they can see the object or not, does not alter the fact that the object remains.
I am not at the top of the mountain, I am not at the bottom of the mountain, I am the person in the middle. I am a bridge between worlds; I am a conduit.
Sometimes, my meditation support alone is sufficient to resolve the issue. On other occasions, I will make referrals to additional practitioners who can provide specialised expertise to assist you further.
