To separate by the operation of the mind, as the notion of dimension from that of space." To notice some things, we have to NOT notice other things. The brain enables us to perceive dimension as separate from other aspects of space... with certain parts of the brain quiescent, we are lost in space... or abiding in pure awareness.

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
