Just as one vast physical space fills and pervades all buildings without being confined by any container, boundless aware being pervades each of us without being contained within any individual body-mind. An apparently limited space is a mixture of universal space plus four walls; likewise, the separate self is infinite aware being mixed with content of experience. Just as there are no real limited spaces but one vast space seemingly separated, there are no real separate selves but one infinite being never truly divided. All practices give the separate self something to do to become infinite being – like giving this room’s space tasks to become universal space when it already is that. The being we essentially are remains in its natural condition, pristine and free, just as space is never qualified by walls. As this understanding dawns, thoughts subside as their source – existential dissatisfaction – dissolves, like sunshine evaporating morning mist.
