So what I would like you to do right now is to simply close your eyes right now, take a deep inhale and on the exhale for just two to five seconds, consciously drop all labels, thoughts, emotions, attachments, and just fully let go of everything like you're dead and you're relaxing back into presence. Do it now if you can. After taking that two to five seconds, chances are you may have started to feel a greater depth of stillness. That's presence, the part of you that is everybody and everything. Now imagine observing yourself from outside yourself like an independent third party. Everybody observe the thoughts running through your character's mind, the emotions your character is experiencing, the circumstances your character is going through with zero judgment or attachment. Instead, use a relaxed awareness like you're looking at the thoughts, emotions, circumstances of a complete stranger. Do it now. That's you getting in touch with the witness inside you. This state of complete presence and simple observation or witnessing of what your character is going through is what I mean by God consciousness. And this is the state you need to get familiar with. No longer are you living life from the first person, aka going through life as your character. Instead, we're living life through the third person. You're watching your character go through life just like you do when you're watching a movie on the big screen. So to help make this state habitual, I recommend a few things. The first thing that I recommend is you take up meditation and simply observe the thoughts and emotions and irks of your character with zero judgment or attachment for just 20 minutes a day. The second thing I recommend is you download a mindfulness bell from the app store that's called Insight Timer. With this app, you can set a bell to go off every hour or whenever you please. Once this bell goes off, take a deep breath, drop everything for 2 to 5 seconds and ground yourself back into the presence. Also another pro tip with this app is you can set the bell to go off at random times as well. This is an easy way to train and test yourself. If the bell goes off and you feel startled, you know you're operating from person consciousness because you're too sucked into his or her circumstances. That's why the bell startled you.
