I was thinking about this earlier while staring at fence.
If I take everything I know about the fence and ponder it, I can associate it to alot of different things I've experienced. But What if I chose to experience being the fence, sounds crazy but it's cool to think about it. I would have to forfeit my senses and become something less? just to see what it sees and what it's role is.
It was just some mental exercise I do while at work to keep me from falling asleep.(boring job)
The implications this could lead to seem intense. Is this crazy?

You've written so many thought-provoking questions Corey! I hadn't thought of the term spiritual shapeshifters in this situation before but it fits. It's quite possible to project your consciousness into another being, though I've never tried with a non-living entity before. It's a process I've known as identification. You identify with the entity and imagine every aspect of it until your consciousness merges with that of the entity. There is a line in the Bible about god being aware of the sparrow falling from its nest (or something of that nature). I think its the same principle. As we come to a deeper realization of the oneness of all in existence I think we'll be able to identify with other beings with more rapidity and develop much more empathy and compassion along the way.
Those long night shifts are good for stuff like this! Being slightly sleepy relaxes one sufficiently to take the edge off and thin the veils.
