The mind attempts to focus
The world becomes blurred
Like a truth obscured
A reality impossible to ascertain
A silent space opens within the meditation chamber
Like a vortex encircling a living statue
The mind pierces this veil of illusion
All finite dimensions merge into an infinite construct
The observances of energy traveling through the body
Information in the form of light
Traveling within the vast voids between molecular structures
From this lens,
The body appears to be a gigantic universe
Fear is reduced to a primal reaction
The mystery is beyond trepidation
All infinity contained within finite space
Like the concept of dividing a meter into an infinite number of fragments
The numeric division becomes a pure concept that can no longer be replicated in the world of matter
It becomes a pure abstraction
A metaphysical cowboy riding the bull of reason
Trying hard to hold on to his small reality
Death destroys the monument of self
The ego is dissolved
The mind enters an ancient portal
The entire cosmos is awakened
The center is not the center
It is merely a reference point to reassemble infinite possibilities within a circle of awareness
Time and space are illusions
The world is Maya
That which is not bound by time exists outside of time
It passes through time but remains untouched
A rendezvous with atman
