_I: Let's begin.

_AM: The first of the steps that we will go through is related to Transcendence. We have already explained it before, but it never hurts to remember it. Transcendence comes from “Trans” (from the other side) and “Scandere” (to rise, climb, scale). The concept talks about going up from one place to another, climbing to another level. As we have said, transcending something does not mean eliminating what came before, but rather integrating it as part of the experience. In the same way that we climb a staircase, each step we take up or down does not make the previous steps disappear, since they are a support for the following ones, they give meaning, shape, firmness to what you walk on.

_I: Transcend is one of the 4 Universal foundations that we always mention. But isn't this the last one? Why start with him?

_AM: Let's go back to what the 4 Fundamentals are. A foundation is something that, as its word indicates, is at the bottom, that is, in the depths of the matter or a structure, like the foundations of a house. Every society, philosophy, religion, study, matter; Everything has foundations on which everything else is built. We could say that the foundations of a human are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen, and for a human to exist, he needs to regenerate his quantity of these 4 chemical elements over and over again, which we do by breathing, drinking and eating. It could be considered that the foundations of space are width, height and depth; Just as for time its foundations are past, present and future. They are cyclical, since any of them can be equivalent to the other in a sphere or wave. Well, the foundations of the Universe are based on the constant cycle that has 4 instances: Expression, Experimentation, Integration and Transcendence. The Universe expresses itself in all creation, experiences what is created, integrates what is experienced, and transcends to a new level, evolving towards a new expression. However, because they are the 4 fundamentals, they do not have to have an exact order, because every time you perform one of these 4 steps, you are already inevitably performing the other 3. The idea of putting it in order is nothing more than organizational for the linear mind of today's human. Every time you express something, you are experiencing that something, integrating what you learned previously to be able to do what you do now, and transcending what you learned before to place yourself at a new level of understanding. We begin with Transcendence, because in the desire to build a new internal and external reality, starting on a new path, it is necessary to first recognize the one we have already traveled.

_I: Well… Ok. In other words, the task of this day will be to go to the other side, recognizing what has been done, to level up...

_AM: And this little exercise will lead us to recognize where we are and why we find ourselves, knowing that what has been transcended is not what we have let go and liberated, but what we have integrated. Sometimes people confuse transcendence with change, or with liberation, and they are nothing to do with each other. A change of consciousness is like looking towards the north, and suddenly turning 180 degrees looking towards the south, no longer seeing the north. A liberation of consciousness is letting go of attachments, those ties to people, objects or situations to which we clung depending on the past. That is where transcending something is considered to be forgiving, releasing, releasing, letting go, even cutting off or forgetting what happened. In reality, it is much more complex, since transcending implies integrating the above. Transcendence is like physical exercise, like climbing a mountain. The reason you reach the top or the end of the exercise is not because you gave up the previous thing, but because you have gained more flexibility and strength thanks to each previous step. So you can understand that transcending is incorporating as your own the effort or experience of each stage lived, and without clinging specifically to what was experienced, I continue moving forward.

_I: Like climbing the side of a mountain for the first time, where the first steps will hurt a lot, I may even scrape myself on rocks and branches, or step wrong and hurt myself a little, but all of this gives me mobility, strength to the next steps, and I will no longer feel those pains if my gaze is on the top, and not on the traumas generated along the way.

_AM: That's right. Therefore, recognizing the ideas of what each step or level has represented for you implies transcendence. It is synonymous with Evolution. You do not stop being what you had previously been, but you improve the version of who you are.

_I: I like that.

_AM: And today, taking into account that we are on the day of the Third Eye chakra, our first step is Contemplation.

_I: How do I do it?

_AM: Here is today's exercise. Identify a place high up, from which, when you arrive, you can contemplate things from higher up.

_I: A staircase, for example.

_AM: That would be the best, although it could be a ramp, or a nature trail that goes uphill. What you will do is interpret that each step is a year of life. The first year will be the level one, from where you start, and when you take the first step towards the first step, it will represent the second level, that is, the second year of life. You understand?

_I: Yes. At ground level is the first year, and the first step I climb is the second year of life, and the second step I climb is the third year of life... And so on.

_AM: Good. If there are not enough steps for the number of years, you go back down to the bottom and start again from the year you left at the top.

_I: Yes, this happened to me, that I ended up on the step of my 13th year, and I had to go down to the beginning to count the level of the ground as the 14th year.

_AM: That's right. What you will do on each step is try to bring an image, idea, sensation, emotion, that you can summarize or identify with that year of life. You will only observe him, you will contemplate him, without needing to do anything more than watch him as if he were a movie in front of you. And when you have identified it, you take a deep breath, hold it while you climb the step, and when you hold onto the next one, you exhale strongly. Take the time you need on each step, but I recommend that the maximum time on each one be one minute, and the minimum about 10 seconds.

_I: It will be difficult to remember the first years of life…

_AM: Maybe a smell, maybe a simple image... Just let them come to you without searching too much.

_I: Ok… Mmmm, do I?

_AM: Yes.

_I: Year 1… I smell a scented oil, talcum powder, and I see myself on the kitchen table, surrounded by my mother, grandmother and aunt.
