Becoming the Universe

If you dont know meditation, you might have to be a little sympathetic for me to read this post :P

So I start from the middle of somewhere:

This morning as I sat at the tip of the yoga mat, waiting and relaxing before the yoga, my mind began investigating.

Lot of pressing things, yet my mind would choose 'space'

and continue something I begin thinking about during a pee-break at work, as I looked up at nothing as and wondered about 'nothingness'

aware.
Quoting Albert Einstein
A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.





Now, continuing with the theme of the last couple of posts, nothingness expanse, less defilements (delusion) and back to me sitting at the edge of yoga mat. Sitting and exploring.

When there are little defilements, there no 'bends', the mind becomes expansive.
