If you want to develop your nonlocal awareness, begin approaching the world as re-presenting your consciousness. For example, if a billboard catches your eye, consider how its meaning may go beyond the obvious. Regard it symbolically, and see if this provides a new angle of vision or insight into whatever’s going on in your life. Remember, the Field is holographic. Another idea: when you’re listening to songs, hear the lyrics as though either you’re talking to the Field or the Field is talking to you. It may surprise you how directly the meaning of the words will speak to a specific situation you’re facing. The key to living nonlocally is to realize that everything is metaphor, and that nothing that gets your attention is insignificant.

G.K. Chesterton writes that fairy tales describe apples of gold and rivers of wine to remind us how amazed we were the first time we discovered that apples were red and rivers ran with water. The ability to see the world as metaphor, with new eyes, marks a return to innocence and receptivity that can never be experienced within the endless replay of old conclusions.

The world is new each moment. The only question is, do we have the eyes to see, and the ears to hear?
