A spiritual practice that can be fun is to look at the world and

everything in it including your body to be lifeless and that the only

thing bringing it all into motion is your own consciousness. It's a

bit of a difficult practice even though it may appear easy. The first

difficulty, and this is a huge threshold, is that this idea implies

that you are all alone in the whole universe! This can result in a

wall of unbearable loneliness which will hinder any interesting

experience. Another difficulty is to actually convince yourself of

the _real_ possibility that you are in fact all alone, and that there

is no one out there in the world as a conscious being. It could be

pretty hard to convince yourself that when you talk to a family

member, that he or she actually is not a conscious being!

The thing is that " You " are alone in the whole Univers. You are the

only existing being in this world. Of course I'm not talking about

you, but about " You " . Who you really are. Until you know who you

are, truly know who you are. Your search will never end.
