There are three consciousness planes we can inhabit—three
perspectives, we could call them—from which we can view our situation.
As Number One, we are our egos—our bodies, our personalities, our
every-day selves. As Number Two, we are our astral selves, what I've
called our souls. And as Number Three, we are—well, let's not give it a
name, because wars have been fought over what to call the Nameless. So
for the moment, let's just call it Number Three.
When it comes to aging, we have a choice about where we're going to
position ourselves, as we watch the phenomena that getting older
entails. We can look at them from the ego's point of view, from Number
One, and get all lost in our clingings, and our fears, and our dramas.
Or we can flip the channel and look at those same events from the soul's
point of view. We'll find that everything changes with that shift in
perspective. The situation itself doesn't change, mind you, but our
experience of it becomes a whole different thing. The soul won't be busy
getting lost in all the "stuff" the way the ego is—the soul is just
appreciating the incarnation, appreciating the unfolding of it all.
