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 HeartWalk "The heart pulsating in love becomes a flute on the lips of God, and a song is born." ~ Osho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
