it reminds me of a story Stephen Gaskin used to tell,

*_* That's interesting.Could you elaborate?

-ok, sure, here's my understanding.

He said that reality ismultidimensional and the key element is the feeling/tone. Thatyou have your own personal one plus if there's more than one person in an area, there's a collective feeling/tone, similarto having an orchestra. A collective vibration. And this is the most important part of beingness. Rather than the thoughts part being the most important. If one can be shown or sees the truth of this, it 'could' cause a shift of consciousness from being anchored in thought, the usual place of anchorage. So, using this new model, attention is routed thru awareness of the energy body at all times to accurately measure the quality of one's thoughts.
