1811 How you see things compared to others

Geoff is being shown a scenario to interpret

Now, I’m going down towards a very cold beach.

It’s a bit like in Ireland or southern England. It’s very misty, it’s cold, it’s wet, damp. I’m going down a muddy track.

 

There’s grass out of sight, but the grass is covered in drizzle, damp, and misty. Not comfortable. The weather’s cold.

 

I get down to the beach and it’s very miserable. And there’s no one around. It’s a very desolate beach.

 

Now, I’m going to sit on the sand and look around. I see the whole thing is desolate.

 

So the energy is… I was going to say the energy is desolate, but I see it differently. And this is the lesson.

 

It’s how you see things. So, somebody who’s in a bad way goes down to the beach, and they’ll be in such a bad way that it’ll seem terrible, it’s wet, cold, windy, disgusting. And they just feel worse and worse and worse.

 

Where we can go down and say, it’s all beautiful nature, and we’re dressed warmly, and we can sit there and we can experience all these different energies around us, and so on. So again, it’s the people that you come across. Their frame of mind and how they think.

 

Their perceptions, yeah. Yeah, their perception. And again, you cannot change their perception.

 

That’s the experience that’s relevant. So again, something else which I’d never thought about.

 

Now we’ve gone on to a cove. I’ve just gone farther on; it’s got a lot brighter. The sand is now warmer.

 

The drizzle has disappeared. And I get to the end of a cove, and there’s a big, not a mountain, but a big hill in front of me. And I can sit on the beach there, where there’s a big hill on the left, and look to the right, which is the beach we just came from.

 

It’s all nice and dark and blue, and it’s cold, very cold. The water’s cold. Now, the point of this one.  Something that doesn’t quite tie up. Or I can’t understand it now. Looking back to  where we came from, the person there, who was sitting on the beach, seeing it as all depressing and so on, now looks in my direction and sees me sitting very comfortably with a big man on the left.

 

And what they see is a comparison to where they are. Now, mine is not much different, except I see it differently. But he would just see it as better than where he was.

 

So, it’s still very interesting. But see, that’s where it comes in. It’s like you envy someone else’s life, but you don’t see, you don’t know anything about what they’ve been through, where they’re at, and what they’re going through, or their perception of everything.

 

But your perception of it, you see it as better than yours. And that’s a big thing in this world.

 

People always think everyone else has got it better, everyone else is better. And that’s the ego. And that’s the comparison.

 

And that’s instead of just focusing on themselves, and bettering their worlds, they’re comparing their worlds, comparing everything. And it makes them feel less about themselves. That’s very true.
