After we’ve had the first hand experience of the reality of Oneness
and shrink back to our normal objective perspectives it’s a little like
“wow…what was that and how do I get back there??”
As the Vedas first taught us and logic dictates…
Existence itSelf is an eternal expansion and contraction
( see The Eternal Cycle )
It our very collective consciousness/Self that expands into complexity and sprouts
these micro viewing points to look around inside ourself.
So the bottom line is it is the natural behavior of our Self to expand and contract.
This means that as portions of our Self we have the same innate abilty.
So what eh? Bear with me here.
Since our true Self is already and always ALL…
it’s just a matter of expanding my sense of self to realize mySelf as ALL.
Being used to an objective reality of objects and people, it may seem strange
to think I can expand my sense of Self to be ALL but it is a natural move.
Sure it defies objective logic but so does the idea that life is subjectively conscious
without form or a nervous system and that’s true.
Knowing it defies the laws of nature (to release my mental blocks/resistence)
AND
knowing I’m already (t)HERE
I just let my feeling of myself expand.
It’s that simple and it works…try it…you’lll like it.
Here’s one exercise I designed which is fun and works.
Sit outside somewhere ( a park bench is good ) and get as
relaxed as possible sitting there. Now pay attention to your
breathing.
On the exhale ’sense’ your feeling of your self (normally confined
to your body) expand with your breathe as far as you can.
On the inhale ’sense’ your feeling of your self returning to just your body.
I even say to myself ‘in’ on the inhale and ‘out’ on the exhale.
It’s particularly ‘trippy’ to do this while your body is walking.
After doing it a few times sure eliminates any fear of death
you may have had (if you had any).
