We are conscious living beings identified with the world of form, where change, measurement and limitation set president over our reality. Achievement can only be superseded by a better achievement, need by more need, expectation overruled by a new expectation and so on. In this world we are continuously chasing something, someone, or some ideal.

We have come to believe this world represents the complete reality. Our attention is spread out horizontally and across various situations, which need to be resolved. As we identify with these situations we become absorbed by them, thus we become the situations, the problems, the desires, the expectation. Eckhart Tolle explains: “Whatever we achieve in the world of form cannot satisfy for long”.

There exists also the vertical dimension where Nature, aliveness and joy exist in absolute blissfulness. Life shines not inside it, but thorough it. The vertical dimension is best described as the source of absolute abundance. It’s the constant of all life and joy, the limitless beingness; it is the way it is. There are no problems, haste, expectations or order of importance. There is only the being.

Animals and plants attune to this dimension naturally. We can observe it in their gracefulness, as they exist in the primordial state of oneness. A dog lays peacefully in the front room, the bird soars across the sky, and flowers blossom in the front garden. It all happens in complete synergy with Nature, the way it is. And when a dog senses the presence of its master it instinctively jumps up in complete devotion, because it lives in the moment of Now, in tune with the original essence. It eats, rests, plays and loves. And if the need arises it protects that which it loves. It simply does what comes most naturally.
