I working on a new skill called assimilation. I have had some success assimilating animals in the past but the timing had always been random and not under my control. This week I started practicing assimilating people.

At my bi-weekly back massage I decided to practice on my massage therapist. I waited until the endorphins kicked in and I was very relaxed. Then I invoked non-thought and let my energy stretch out and scan the room. I immediately tuned into the energy of my therapist. Her mind was quiet and focused on her task at hand. I let my go of my own identity and sank into the identity of my therapist. It was amazing because it really didn’t take any work on my part, just a letting go of any doubt or resistance.

Then I began to pay attention to her thoughts and sensations. The first thing that jumped out at me was the alien feeling of being female. Maybe I have been female in a past life but the feeling of being female is totally unique to me in this life. I began to sense the feelings of her body, of her muscles. I was able to stay connected for about 10 minutes until the end of my half hour.

It was an amazing experience that words do not do justice to and I am forever changed.
