A man says that during meditation he experienced a sense of the vastness of infinite being, and he wants to know why the feeling has gone away.
Rupert says: ‘During the meditation, you had an experience of going back to being, and you could see the world transparent to its reality. As your thoughts and perceptions thinned, being was relieved of its limitations, and you lost all sense of space, time, the world and objects. You felt a sense of expansion and vastness, but then even that disappeared. Vastness is just the mind’s way of representing the fact that being is no longer contained in the body, that being has no dimensions.
‘Then, as thought and perception slowly came back, the sense of expansion returned. And as names and forms became more concrete, you began to see the world as a material world again. You found yourself back in the body, and being seemed to become limited again. As adults, we lose touch with being, and it seems to no longer shine in and as the world. But during the meditation, you had the experience of reversing this process.’
