This bridges into the idea we are all one, each living a different experience and perspective.
The idea we are the same but in a different body has transformed my perspective and how I interact with the world.
Whether it’s true or not, this concept has changed my life.
When I meet people, I meet them where they are (a great mentor first turned me onto this idea, thank you, Marianne).
What does this mean?
It means I put myself in their shoes, see the world through their perspective, and remove my own bias. How have they been treated? What is their experience? Do they have support and love in their life?…
I take it a step further…how would I treat this person if “I” were that person? How would our interaction be if I saw myself in their eyes rather than as a separate individual?
Then, how I would I treat myself in this same situation?
It is amazing how different the start of the interaction is compared to the end.
Nearly 20 years in healthcare, helping people through the most benign situations like removing a splinter to the most traumatic (use your imagination here as I have experienced enough of the hard ones), and seeing the world through this lens and applying this concept has a made a huge difference in the outcome of the interaction.
It is ultimately the practice of unconditional love. ❤️
