Peering Into the Bottomless Pit
This morning while upside down in sarvanga asana (shoulder stand) I saw another similarity. I'm always on the lookout for similarity and the inverted yoga postures and lying in the bath tub often pave the way for this. Simply put, I saw time is consciousness, and consciousness is nothing. The mind, falling through this bottomless pit, this void - time - sees this or that (stimuli), and memory 'awareness' latches on. We lay hold of it, and hang on for dear life. Nothing wrong with that, but not 'laying hold' of anything, once and awhile, allows consciousness to return to the infinite. Death, life, good, bad... all the duality dissolves. Self is nothing and 'we' are immortal. But, then we must 'lay hold' once more, for that is how life works. Even so, knowing when to stop one can be free from danger. Now, that is great perfection!

I read this for the third time now and just wanted you to know that someone out there is saying "Whoa!"
That time is consciousness needs to sink in. But that the mind is falling through the void, latching on to this and that, resonates big time. I get it. Then we are faced with letting go of the void. Was it the Everly Brothers who said "that'll be the day when I die"?
