You know, I never paid much attention to it, but today I suddenly realized that I have been living my life, and observing others from the inside of a box, so to speak. Is it a four thing to feel extremely detached from a situation, almost like you are not a part of what is happening...even if you are involved? Or is it my Five wing?
I see the world not as if I am a part of it, but as if I am disconnected and Watching everything that goes on. Actually, as I remember back, I have seen Everything in this way! I 'interact' as I'm protected in my little box, peeking out of a hole I've made just the right size in order to see Everything.
It reminds me of how it is possible to see almost the entire night sky if a person is at the bottom of a Water Well, looking out. But if someone is standing above ground, without a tunnel of vision, totally connected to the land, it is Impossible to see as much as the other person below it all does.
