“When how a person occurs to himself alters, everything else shifts as well.”
I believe that “spaciousness” is something that expresses itself in infinite ways. Here’s an example. Enjoy this beauty of a piece:
Colin Wilson, the prolific and influential British writer, was born to working-class parents from a relatively poor community in Britain. Although his ambition was to become the next Albert Einstein, he was forced to quit school at age sixteen.
Working as a laboratory assistant, he fell into despair and decided to end his own life by drinking hydrocyanic acid. In the moment before what was to be his final act, he came to a realization. There were actually two Colin Wilsons. It was like two people living in the same body. One was a boy idiot filled with self-pity. The other was his real self.
The boy idiot, he realized, was about to kill them both.
From that moment on, Colin Wilson occurred to himself in a new way. He saw himself as the ‘real Colin Wilson’ instead of the unsuccessful lab technician. He later wrote that from this point, ‘I glimpsed the marvelous immense richness of reality, extended to distant horizons.’
When how a person occurs to himself alters, everything else shifts as well.”

What is Your Spacious Self saying to your smaller self right now? Don’t think too much. Just allow the wisdom – your higher wisdom – to reveal itself.
Pretty cool, huh?
Sounds very similiar to Eckhart Tolle’s life story! What a blessing to notice the shift! I guess it’s called “grace”!!!”
My Spacious Self is telling my smaller self:
Everything’s going to be alright.
and
Love yourself like you love others.
Awww. Lovely message. My Spacious Self is saying the same thing to me. How about that!?
