I don't mean that everyone should go around trying on every perspective that shows its face, but if you find yourself actively resisting a perspective (as opposed to just noticing it, rejecting it, and letting it go), it seems to me that it might be fun to move into that model of the universe just for the fun and the fluidity.

I've heard some people say that that's dangerous, and I can understand the fear, or the concern for vulnerable or weak-minded folk. And that may be a valid concern -- if someone is on shaky ground mentally, moving fluidly between perspectives might not be the best choice.

For "smart people," though -- people who are well enough to read and post here (there may be a couple of exceptions, but I don't think there are too many), I trust that the avatars here are plenty able to move among perspectives without being in danger of .... catastrophe.

Why not try on a perspective that intrigues you, and see what you see, hear what you hear, and feel what you feel? It's not like you can't have your old one back.

Of course, that's easier for me to see from this perspective.
