How would this stand against this last post if 'every projection' is 'gathering experience' ?

Your thoughts please.

"NL:

We embrace your decision to view others without prejudice. Avoiding prejudice is quite the challenge for human projections, but definitely one that is worthwhile to the High Perspective.

You ask us about experience. We understand you are mindful of the way you perceive others, so allow us to examine what it is that's happening: you, as your High Perspective, decided it would be beneficial to begin viewing others without prejudice. To do this, it has offered a solution with which to experiment: experiencing the 'numbness' which you have described. When you walk by these people, you are gathering experience through this perspective of mindfulness. Think about it: you see these people, and some of them may strike you as interesting, or peculiar, or even threatening, but through this 'lens' of mindfulness, you are deliberately choosing to remain unaffected. That is the experience you have acquired.

We can use a camera as a metaphor. Your High Perspective can be considered the photographer. You are the camera. There are a number of lenses, modes, and settings the photographer can experiment with to receive a specific result. Before, your view of others may have been prejudiced. That was one mode your High Perspective experimented with - it produced a specific photograph. Now, your High Perspective has changed to another mode: anti-prejudice. That produces a completely different photograph.

It may seem insignificant to the human mind to consider observing others as 'gaining experience,' but your High Perspective interprets this differently. When you observe others, you are building a sensory bank of information... not only for your physical self, but for your High Perspective, as well. This helps define your reality. How are you seeing these other projections? Are you afraid of them? Do you lust after them? Do you find them striking? What do you like about them, or what do you not like? What are they wearing that is unfamiliar to you? How does the way they present themselves make you feel? All this information is processed and stored for the sake of over-standing yourself as an extension of Source or the universe.

So even if you deliberately choose to be mindful of prejudice, you are still acquiring experience. You are building observations through a specific lens or mode. Your High Perspective is taking snapshots through you. You can be in a state of meditation, but your senses are still open and aware, and that information continues to be stored despite you feeling you aren't consciously aware of it. Remember - there is a much bigger picture here (no pun intended)!

We hope we have brought a bit of clarity to your situation.

Go on Grace."
