I look forward to it, mercury. You're a darn sight better meditation teacher than many I've come across, assuming it's true. I may just be floundering about in the foothills and about to start another ascent! What I don't get is this 'expanded awareness' thing. I mean, yeah, much of it makes perfect sense, and I feel fairly confident that I've done enough practise to know stillness. It's just that in that indescribable nowness, I don't find expansion - certainly I don't find the experience of unity with everything, I haven't had any psychic experience, nothing. It's bottomless, endless, formless, sometimes joyful, beautiful, for sure, but it doesn't give me a reliable feeling that I'm in touch with ALL, or that my
awareness is 'God', as you so effortlessly equate them. When I really look at the raw experience, it is wonderfully free of my categorising mind, but I still have a feeling that I'm me and you're you, genetic constructions, and that we are going the way of all flesh after these delightful contemplations about being God end.
