Day 36
Meditation ultimately facilitates the expansion of one’s consciousness, and a permanent refocussing of one’s attention to that which is beyond the limitations of physical life.
When one experiences such an altered state the true meaning of bliss is understood. And, whilst the early encounters with this elevated plane are only weakly perceived, they provide sufficient impetus for one to continue one’s efforts to master the craft.
One also finds immediately after the practice that one retains the sensation of living within, and beyond, oneself. It is as though one’s mind has filled the universe, that the top of one’s skull has been removed, and all of the stars and planets are contained within the newly opened sphere. One is present but also somehow vaguely absent from one’s body. One’s mind is clear, but also blank.
Gently go about your daily tasks. Spend the day as peacefully as your responsibilities allow. You have reached an important milestone.
