I just received an email that included a statement about:

"seeing what IS rather than allowing the eyes and brain to keep seeing a preferred reality."

So how would we stand back from a preferred reality to give "what IS" a chance to change us?

"what IS" will change us whether we like it or not. Change is the norm. What our eyes and brain experience would be part of that process.

If we are part of "what IS" how can we stand back from it?

A child changes its preferrences as it grows, I think adults do likewise.

The pretenses of a generation are now being revealed.

	They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor. -The Last Samurai

Take for example Spain and its gold galleons - a boom after the galleon arrived followed by decline until the next one.
