I have never considered it in those terms, Roger,

but yes.

 

The image I got when I read that ....(see? there goes

that imag-in ation I was talking about!) was of

a balloon.

 

Let's say that if air is consciousness, and the balloon

is the 'sheath' of body, or personality that separates

the 'inner air' (air of the individual) from the rest of

the air (All That Is),

 

then it can be said individual consciousness can

once again be blended with All That Is by either

 

contracting air - forcing air out of it (neti, neti)

 

or by expanding the 'inner air' to such an extend

that the veil of separation bursts.

 

As one who works a lot with balloons, I'll add that

by 'working the balloon'....letting air in, and then

letting it out....over and over....the balloon gets

very soft and pliable....and can grow to a much

greater expanse than one imagined....until

ultimately the skin is so thin, it easily pricks.

 

more later,

Melody
