39
You're going to open it.
40
And that's where the gold takes place.
41
You're forced to make this radical introduction to who you really are.
42
So you enter this environment that brings about this kind of dissolution of self -structured identity.
43
You have disappeared to become nothing.
44
You drop even below that.
45
Now you're below the surface structures of your storyline.
46
We look up and we see nothing but blue sky.
47
So you go into the dark, that allows the revelation of literally millions of stars, points of light that represent the unconscious mind.

60
I could stay open.
61
And so therefore, the invitation and revelation is, can I hold this level of openness?

My sense faculties are open, my mind is open, my heart's open.
63
How do I digest, metabolize, incorporate, make it stable?
64
How do I transform this state into a trait?
65
That's the journey.

- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: stable /ˈsteɪ.bəl/, reveal /ɹɪˈviːl/, radical /ˈɹædɪkəl/, primordial /pɹaɪˈmɔɹ.di.əl/

- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como darkness, perception, shock.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
