        In the Hollywood movie, Groundhog Day (1993),   it becomes something much more concrete,
        the main character of the story goes around   much more living, much more real, much more
        repeating his way of looking at the world and   tangible than the whole material world. And this
        having the same season throughout the year,  is what makes the essential difference between
        the same pothole in which he falls every time,  beings. When that becomes spontaneously real
        until one day, when he becomes conscious that   - the true, concrete existence, the atmosphere
        he has a choice, and he steps aside from the  one can freely breathe, then one knows one has

                                                 have heard about it, you know that it exists,
        If I shift my consciousness within, disengage  but it has no concrete reality — well, this means
        from the surface movements, people and   that the new birth has not yet taken place. As
        circumstances are also altered in some way.   long as you tell yourself, “Yes, this I can see, this
        We are all interconnected. As the Mother  I can touch, the pain I suffer from, the hunger that

        shifting our consciousness, is like banging our
        head on the wall, in which a lot of wounding   “….There is a moment — because it is a question
        and unnecessary suffering is caused.     which becomes more and more intense and

        24/7, and knowingly stay with the breath,   when this sensation that you have of yourself,
