The illusory nature of reality allows you to perceive it as an active landscape.
You can test your perceptions by merging with the actual nature of a situation.
For example, when you believe you are encountering resistance to a particular goal, instead of wrestling with it, imagine you are walking forward into the resistance and merge with it.
Sense the resistance neutralize as the polarities are joined. Then, imagine stepping back out of the resistance …it still exists, but your perception of it will have changed.
