Comments on: Staring Into the Eyes of a Stranger…Looking For The Man in the Mirror. http://creative-deconstruction.com/blog/2009/11/18/staring-into-the-eyes-of-a-stranger-looking-for-the-man-in-the-mirror/ Escape From False Ideas About Yourself Sat, 07 May 2011 05:06:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ronnie http://creative-deconstruction.com/blog/2009/11/18/staring-into-the-eyes-of-a-stranger-looking-for-the-man-in-the-mirror/comment-page-1/#comment-6901 Ronnie Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:37:38 +0000 http://creative-deconstruction.com/blog/?p=748#comment-6901 I agree, the two minutes spent here hardly seem to be any time at all. It is interesting to note the variations, as Garret suggested. You can hear him getting into the breathing a bit at the beginning, and I saw some interesting quick/slow patterns of blinking in the second minute. Paying attention to those things distracted me from my own breathing/blinking for a moment, but generally this seems to be a relatively easy exercise to do regularly, and for that I thank you, Garret. I too just found this blog recently and plan to look through the rest of it as time permits. I agree, the two minutes spent here hardly seem to be any time at all.

definitely did not feel like two minutes – it felt like perhaps a few seconds went by!
i could feel myself outside of time and space….and felt aware of us both in that same space together…..
this is an exercise i used to practice at work….every once in a while if i didn't have anything else to do i would sneak off to the bathroom and stare into my reflection until everything turned surreal, like being in a dream….then i would try to hold on to that feeling for as long as possible :)

I enjoy hearing about your experiences with the Tibetan healer. There is much in the way of alternative healing experiences that goes virtually unnoticed in the established media, and even among most people I know. I also practice the exercise of expressing various emotions through the eyes from time to time. I have not done it for awhile now, but I will do the routine today. Your comment inspired me to do so. Thanks! I look very forward to working with you. How exciting to assist in your escape plans (one must always have an escape plan!) and to do a few sessions. Enjoy! Hey there Otte-

There seems to be a lot of tension around the eyes. I go to a Tibetan healer who uses techniques that give similar results that the Radical Undoing exercises do. He once generated a ton of Chi in his hands and put them [in front] of my eyes. His hands were almost hot like an iron. Insanity! Afterwards my eyes became bright and shiny. They opened more and I looked awake, attentive, and aware. Fascinating. I've been practicing the exercise where you look in the mirror and try to express a large variety of emotions with only your eyes, careful not to move the rest of the face. For some reason I find this exercise extremely difficult. Even more difficult is to try and look at my face objectively like it belongs to another person. When I was a young boy I would sometimes look in the mirror and think for a split-second, "Who is that anyways?" As I got older I rarely have that feeling naturally without forcing it. Anyways, thanks for the work Garrett. After Christmas I'll get a hold of you. I want to schedule a few sessions and an Escape Plan or two! This exercise is useful.
