MEDITATIVE PIXELLATION
  Exploring Inner Sensations through Conscious Awareness

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
Rumi

Meditative 'Pixellation'
Consciously resting in innocent body-awareness—always catching sensations, feelings, and emotions before they capture us—can ultimately lead to a process I term 'meditative pixellation'.
 It is the the process of breaking down awareness into finer and finer sensory details though the power of by will directed consciousness.

Meditative pixellation is the process of deconstructing all inner experiences—emotions, sensations, and thoughts—into raw, neutral micro-perceptions, beyond conceptual interpretation. This allows us to consciously aware reality as it is, unfiltered by the mind’s habitual narratives.
 
Imagine a digital image. As you zoom in closer and closer, the picture gradually dissolves into pixels, losing its original meaning. Similarly, as you become more attuned to consciously perceiving the myriad sensations within your body, you gain the ability to move beyond the conceptual barriers imposed by naming and labeling. In this abstract, primal reality, distinctions and boundaries dissolve. We become part of a fluid continuum—a boundless, pixelated existence. Just as a high-resolution image dissolves into pixels when magnified, our inner world loses its conditioned interpretations when examined closely. Sensations once labeled as ‘anger,’ ‘joy,’ or ‘fear’ become abstract, vibrating micro-perceptions, —just pure presence.

Pixels Are Neither Bad Nor Good

 "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
Shakespeare Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2.

Just as every digital image—whether a portrait of Jesus or the devil—is fundamentally composed of the same neutral pixels, so too are our sensations, feelings, and emotions. Magnified beyond their conditioned interpretations, all experiences dissolve into raw, vibrating sensory phenomena. When you zoom into an image, you no longer see beauty or ugliness, meaning or narrative—you see neutral dots. The same is true of our emotions: zoom in, and they dissolve into pure, pulsing sensory energy, stripped of judgment.

Rumi’s ‘field beyond right and wrong’ invites us to a realm where distinctions dissolve—where perception, stripped of judgment, becomes raw, direct, and unfiltered. This is precisely what happens when we zoom into the microstructure of experience itself: the world dissolves into pure sensation, much like an image disintegrating into pixels when magnified.
 
As Rumi suggests, in that field beyond ideas and language, even the notion of ‘each other’ ceases to make sense. The sharp edges of identity, duality, and separation blur into the vast openness of raw perception.
 
Tathata - Suchness
This state of ‘pixelation’ aligns with what Buddhist traditions call ‘tathata’—suchness, the direct experience of things as they are, unmediated by thought or concept. By sensing our inner body free from concepts—so intimately that all we perceive is the continuous flow of micro-sensations—we begin to 'innerstand' that sensations and feelings are neither inherently good nor bad.
 
Beyond the wall of naming and judgment, pain and pleasure lose their conventional distinctions. The need for evaluation dissolves, leaving no space or function for thoughts to navigate this terrain.
 
Through this process, the first layer of mental interpretation dissolves. The body’s inner sensory space ceases to be a stage for emotional drama and instead reveals itself as a field of super-aware microdots of 'something'—pure suchness, free from conventional narrative entanglement.
 
When feelings and emotions are perceived on the level of pixels, they lose their capacity to be hijacked by elaborate thought dramas. In this sense, the pixel-state is innocent, untouched by the habitual loops of mental storytelling. Here, sensations remain raw and direct, free from the cognitive hooks that otherwise entangle them in the world of thought.
 
Let me offer a brief example. A group of us once sat watching a sunset in the Himalayas. Some remained in silent awe, absorbed in the golden light. Others let out soft murmurs—an "ohh" or an "ahh"—while a few whispered, "It’s beautiful," or, "It looks like gold." Then, one man broke the moment’s spell: "This reminds me of a sunset back in Denmark when we got drunk and argued about politics. Speaking of politics, what’s your take on the prime minister?"
 

The moment had vanished. The sunset was no longer a direct experience—it had become a backdrop for personal narratives, a springboard for unrelated thoughts. This is how the mind pulls us away from presence, weaving stories instead of allowing us to simply be.
 
This example illustrates how easily the mind can be pulled out of a raw, sensed experience into the world of narratives and thought spirals. The man’s comment transformed a moment of direct sensory awe into a mental rabbit hole of unrelated and disembodied stories and opinions, distancing him and others from the present reality of the sunset.

  
'Ahh'-Sensing the Warmth of Light
The pixel-state invites us to remain present, anchored in the raw sensations themselves, without allowing thoughts to spiral into distracting narratives. This is the simple path to inner freedom: be consciously aware of yourself—know and 'aha-aware' thyself—not as a detached observer but as a non-judgmental senser in awe. This is, in fact, the 'ohh' or 'ahh'-state. It is not about seeing the light, which implies separation and dual distance, but about experiencing its warmth in subject-object union. To truly sense the light is to feel its presence intimately, dissolving the barriers that divide perception and sensed being.
 
Within this inner world, dualities fade. There is no "observer" in the conventional sense, but rather an "ahh-senser," intimately embedded in the experience itself—fully immersed in pure conscious awareness.

The pixel-state invites us to stay present, intimate anchored in raw sensation, without thoughts pulling us into narratives. This is the simple path to inner freedom: to know and ‘aha-aware’ oneself—not as a distant observer, but as a direct experiencer of life. It is not about seeing the light from afar, but about feeling its warmth dissolve into you, until there is no ‘you’ left to separate from it.
 
Pixels as 'Energy'
When we step into what I call the Rumian grass field, the conditioned labels of pleasant and unpleasant dissolve. Yet something remains—something alive, dynamic, and flowing. At this level, words still hold some value, though they are stripped of conventional meaning. For simplicity, I will metaphorically call this 'energy'.

What we once labeled pain—before bringing it into the light of conscious awareness—now reveals itself as a fluid, morphing, pixelated stream of sensation. Just as particles in quantum physics are ultimately forms of frozen energy or light, the building blocks of our inner experience appear as liquid wave-like movements of energy. However, these are merely poetic metaphors, inspired by a quantum world that I can only speculate about. The real invitation is not to theorize but to aha-sense the ever-changing nature of our inner reality without the need for preconditioned definitions.
 
While terms like 'pixels' and 'energy' are still fundamentally thoughts, they lack the structure required to evolve into narrative storytelling and, more importantly, do not spiral into the drama-filled rabbit holes of mental reality. Instead, they stay closer to the simple, raw, and unembellished impressions they represent.
 
Beyond the, in this sense, barren terms of 'pixels' and 'energy,' there lies an intriguing observation: the deeper one ventures into this abstract realm of inner energies, the more energized and rejuvenated one feels afterward. This might explain why Eastern traditions coined the term 'prana,' equating it with life-energy—the subtle, vital force flowing through and sustaining us.

However, I deliberately choose not to use that term here, as it has been heavily monopolized by Eastern thought and comes with a set of cultural associations that could distract from the path I wish to point out. My aim is to stay rooted in a direct, experiential understanding, free from preconceived notions tied to established traditions.

  
The Challenge
For anyone willing to explore the inner world of sensations and feelings through courageous introspection, here is the challenge:

Any sensation, feeling, or emotion—no matter how pleasant or unpleasant it seems—will ultimately dissolve into pure, neutral 'energy' for the one who continues to observe it with vigilant innocent conscious awareness.
 
State of Simple & Sensed Amor Fati
In this pixelating state of observation, focus solely on the phenomenon of awaring in itself, without attempting to change or eliminate sensations through mental strategies. Resist the temptation to weave stories around them. The key lies in mentally ignoring the age-old instinctual urge to 'do' something—especially in response to unpleasant sensations—while offering them your full, non-cognitive conscious attention.

Ignore Yourself in full Conscious Awareness
This form of non-doing meditation emphasizes the direct encounter between your innocent 'aha' awareness and the interoceptive sensations themselves. You become passive yet present, ignoring yourself while simultaneously giving yourself full, undivided conscious attention. This state can be called a state of simple sensed amor fati—a loving acceptance of what is, exactly as it is.
 

THE SECRET LIFE OF OUR BODY
We are now ready to embark on a journey into the secret life of our own body. With the torchlight of consciousness, we will explore the largely unknown landscapes of our inner biological beingness. With each passing minute, day, month, and year, we deepen our mastery of this practice. It is truly an art in which we are both the artist and the masterpiece.
 
Socrates' famous words, "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom," take on a new meaning in this context—one that invites us to become intimately familiar with the subtle energy formations within our body.
 
At the core of this exploration lies the axis mundi of pixelated energy, running from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Along this torso-axis are key hotspots where energies can surge, sometimes becoming difficult to contain in neutral conscious awareness due to their intensity. These energies may traditionally labeled as negative, manifest as discomfort, offensiveness, anger, or anxiety.
 
You may wonder, Why engage with these energies? Why not simply suppress or control them? The answer is simple: the more unpleasantness you can hold and digest within your conscious field of awareness, the greater your capacity for emotional healing and bodily intelligence becomes.
 
We feel to heal, but only when we do not story tell this field.
  
Through this process, we come to 'innerstand' ourselves more deeply, developing the courage of a warrior to hunt and consume what we once labeled as 'negative' life-energies within our body’s inner animal kingdom. Instead of rejecting or repressing these energies, we absorb and integrate them, transforming what once felt overwhelming into a source of strength and wisdom.
 
This is the path of embodied self-discovery.

 
Biochemical Sensing Instead of Known Feelings
Take any feeling, especially one that is fresh and prominent under this pixellating magnifying glass. If time and space allow, lie down and examine it closely. It could be a cluster of fear tightening the stomach or a tension constricting the throat. When contemplating someone you love, you might feel warmth radiating from the chest or a pleasant lightness spreading throughout the body. Notice the sensation of lightness when feeling happy—how it subtly manifests in different areas of your body.

Now, as you step into the anatomical landscape of these so-called familiar emotions, you may uncover a profoundly simple truth: behind the culturally and linguistically defined labels of anger, joy, jealousy, love, offense, or well-being lie abstract biochemical sensations rooted in various locations of the inner body. What I refer to as energy is nothing more than biochemical sensory phenomena displayed on the interoceptive stage of awareness. And, as I’ve repeated like a mantra, all we do in meditation is add the light of pure consciousness to this inner experience.
 
In reality, what we think of as familiar emotions are, when broken down into their core components, spatially expanded electrochemical energy phenomena.

Let us revisit the previously mentioned images of Jesus and the Devil as a metaphor. Before we begin to magnify these images into pure pixelation, there exists an intermediary field where we can still perceive forms, shapes, and clusters of colors. Similarly, in the inner world of emotions, there is a state of observation where our named feelings—such as anger, pride, or joy—shed their traditional identification markers and stand before us as clusters of sensations with distinct qualities, textures, and shapes.

At this level of perception, it also becomes easier to spatially locate where these energy phenomena are experienced within the body. Love may manifest as warmth in the chest, anxiety as tightness in the gut, or offense as a burning sensation in the throat.

The key to transforming our emotional landscape lies in moving beyond conceptual labels and directly feeling these raw, pixelated clusters of sensations. By doing so, you shift from reacting to your emotions as fixed stories to experiencing them as dynamic, ever-changing energy flows within your body’s sensory landscape.

In this pixelated state, emotions and feelings lose their habitual instinctual pathways.
Imagine a person or situation that has made you unhappy. When you attentively and meditatively look inward, you'll discover that what your mind interprets as 'unhappiness' is actually a sensory phenomenon within your own body. You may feel a knot in your solar plexus, accompanied by butterflies or a sensation akin to jellyfish in your stomach. If you are not present at this moment, you'll start engaging in a dialogue between your burning jellyfish-self and your thinking self. These two will create a feedback loop that, if you're not careful, becomes your unending re-enforcing narrative. This narrative becomes your reality—a reality where you live and jump around like a frog at the bottom of a well rather than getting the over-view as a free bird in the sky.

Consider this simple experiment: The next time you feel irritated or angry at someone, resist the impulse to focus your mental energy on crafting a cutting reply. Instead, turn inward and investigate what is happening inside your body. Notice the electrical tension or tightness in your gut or throat. If you bring conscious awareness to these sensations, it is almost certain that your reaction will change.

However, this is not an easy task. The more prone we are to anger, the less consciously aware we tend to be in those moments.

To move beyond the conceptual wall and fully reside in the world of sensed clusters requires patience and practice. It is a journey of a lifetime—a gradual peeling away of layers until you no longer live in the world of stories but in the reality of direct, embodied experience.
  
Every Energy Bundle Represents a Distinct Bio-Operative System
The next step in life is to consciously explore the energy formations within various parts of your body. For example, allow your inner conscious light to merge with the awareness in your hands as they rest on your stomach. Notice how the awareness in your hands and stomach begin to blend into a unified sensation. You might feel something akin to the famous “butterflies” in your stomach—tickling, crawling, burning, nervous, or electric energy. These sensations often resemble pain. Let them flow freely and integrate with the more neutral energy ball in your hands, allowing both areas to harmonize.

As discussed in the chapter Consciousness & Evolution, the human body is a living archive of remodified and recycled genetic information stretching back to the beginning of life.

A friend once told me that during both of his LSD experiences, he felt as though there was a hostile, meat-eating plant residing in his stomach. To me, this indicates that his stomach was not happy and had been unable to communicate its discomfort—until the psychedelically tuned brain gave it a voice in the form of dream-like symbols.

Each body part, each organ, and even clusters of organs possess their own unique energy signature. These distinct energy bundles form the wordless language through which our ancient biological systems attempt to communicate with us. The vast majority of these systems do not understand verbal language or cognition. Therefore, we must meet them on their own terms, engaging with them through direct sensory awareness.
 
The Shapes and Movements of Inner Sensory Patterns
These internal, abstract sensory shapes consist of bundles of electrochemical energy that continuously fluctuate in myriad forms and variations. They are unique to each individual and each moment, evolving in response to both the external environment and our thought processes. These sensory patterns can feel constricted or expanded and typically have distinct locations, shapes, and dimensions.

A sensory pattern may extend its tendrils into the arms, legs, or head, but its core generally resides within the torso. Think of the torso as the “Rome” of our inner body—a central hub from which countless “sensory pattern civilizations” extend their pathways, stretching from the sphincter muscle up to the top of the head and outward into the limbs. These abstract energy patterns often manifest as independent entities with a central core and tentacle-like projections that traverse the body's inner ocean.

As we become more familiar with these ancient operative systems, we discover that different “zoological” sensory patterns belong to different regions of the body. For example, some might resemble writhing serpents, others like pulsating jellyfish, each with its own rhythm, intensity, and form.

Naming the Inner Phenomena
One might argue that assigning names to internal experiences risks falling into the trap of thought-based storytelling. Indeed, if we begin creating narratives, dramas, or identities—especially victim identities—we risk losing the purity of direct experience. However, fresh metaphorical naming, when used as a tool rather than a crutch, can serve as a bridge for consciousness to explore new inner territories.

This is because while the ancient bio-operative systems within us do not understand logic, some of the more recently evolved systems are attuned to symbolic thinking—as seen in the LSD-induced vision of a meat-eating plant. Before words became tools of rationality, they existed as sounds and symbols, acting as a bridge between sensory experience and meaning.
 
Of course these homegrown symbols can act as a new mental trap for ego-identification. I must admit it did so for me on my journey inwards. However, used wisely they can act as symbolic anchors, guiding us deeper into uncharted realms of our internal landscape without dragging us into narrative distractions. The key is to use these metaphors lightly, allowing them to serve as helpful signposts rather than definitive labels. When used wisely, they enhance our capacity to engage with the hidden sensory life within us, bringing conscious awareness to the ancient and ever-evolving bio-operative systems that sustain our being.


FROM SEA TO LAND

"There are people who, through concentration and other yoga exercises, can bring the subconscious up to the conscious level where they can discern and judge, and thereby benefit from the unlimited treasures of the subconscious memory, among which not only the memory of our previous lives is stored but also the past of the lineage, all pre-human forms of life, and the memory of the consciousness that makes all life in the universe possible."
Lama Anagarika Govinda

Continuing with zoological imagery, this is entirely my own poetic way of describing something that is difficult for the conscious, cognitive mind to grasp. These metaphors help me 'innerstand' and connect with my interoceptive sensations, but you might find different imagery that resonates more with your experiences. What inner creatures might you discover within yourself?

In summay, the journey of pixellation begins with deconstructing familiar feelings into abstract pixellated energy. Once this is achieved, the next step can be to use new metaphors to visualize and relate to these internal phenomena. You might also choose a path where you entirely give up name and form. It is up to you.
 
Inner Jellyfish, Fire Coral, and Sea Nettles
As descibed in the chapter, Unconscious Awareness, In the deepest realms of meditation, oceanic metaphors make sense for me to describe these three-dimensional energy patterns or clusters. The shapes and movements of these inner sensations often resemble aquatic life. Let me introduce my inner jellyfish—a slow-moving sensory pattern that drifts around my stomach, with tendrils extending into my arms, legs, and head. Depending on the intensity of the sensation, it can transform into something more like a fire coral or a sea nettle, emitting prickly or burning sensations. These jellyfish-like creatures, along with countless other inner life forms, seem to live autonomously, swimming through the body’s dark, primordial ocean.

Anyone willing to introspectively explore their inner landscape can embark on a hunt for these ancient Cambrian creatures lurking namelessly within the body’s inner darkness.

It’s utterly fascinating to realize that we carry within us such a varied sensory aquarium without being aware of it. How astonishing it is that we can know so much about the external world and yet remain profoundly ignorant of our own inner world.

The Inner Zoo:  Ancient Life Forms and Land Creatures
It’s not just primordial aquatic creatures we find within us. Our bodies also harbor land creatures, representing different evolutionary stages. We all carry snakes, reptiles, mammals, prey, and predators within us. As we move up the evolutionary ladder, these energy forms become more dynamic and fast-moving.

The ancient, pre-Cambrian energy forms—like jellyfish—move slowly, almost like tidal waves. In contrast, the inner monkey leaps rapidly from branch to branch, making it a challenge to track and contain. At first glance, one might assume that catching a jellyfish would be easier than taming a monkey. However, the paradox is that the older the bio-operative systems are, the more difficult they are to grasp, and thus harder for consciousness to penetrate. Their very slow-moving, continuous nature makes them elusive to a mind wired to detect change and quick patterns. It is precisely their timeless, unhurried rhythm that consciousness struggles to comprehend.
 
Communicating with the Inner Creatures
Our conscious a-ha awareness becomes the lingua franca for communicating with the ancient, remodified life forms within us. The highest act of love is simple, conscious attention. When we offer this loving attention to our inner animals—often frightened, wounded, or confused—they begin to relax and find peace within their own natural rhythms.

Where should we begin?

In my experience, it is far more important to engage with the Cambrian creatures within us than with the more evolved reptilian, mammalian, or early human parts. The deeper we go into these ancient cellular life forms, the more profound the transformation becomes.

If we can transform the jellyfish so that it no longer stings, even the restless inner monkey seems to calm down. The relaxation of our inner world begins with conscious love and attention directed toward the primordial depths of our being. From this core of ancient awareness, healing radiates outward to all later layers of these zoological energy creatures, gradually restoring balance and  harmony across the entire inner ecosystem.
 
THE INNER MORPHING
If an anthropologist visits a Stone Age tribe that has never had contact with modern civilization, the tribe will change irreversibly the moment that contact is made. It will never be the same tribe again, and there is little possibility of returning to its original state. The same is true when you consciously visit your own body.
 
Conscious awareness profoundly affects the inner zoo of energy systems residing within us. As we bring conscious awareness to these inner creatures, they begin to morph and transform. This process is a journey of self-discovery, where the rigid constructs of our inner world melt into fluid, dynamic patterns.
 
As we descend into deeper levels of life, these energy systems begin to shift their configurations. They no longer remain static but begin to evolve, almost like plants responding to sunlight.
 
Through personal observation, you may notice how these sensory patterns evolve—from being rigid and fixed to moving in slow, sweeping motions, much like seaweed gently swaying in the ocean. This transformation from static to dynamic patterns depends entirely on the quality and intensity of the conscious awareness with which you engage them. It is the sheer presence of warm vigilance—wordless and fundamental—that nudges these patterns into a state of flux.

In fact, there are two distinct morphic phenomena at play here.

The first is a natural, ongoing process that has been present all along. The energies within your body were already in motion, slowly morphing and shifting beneath your conscious radar. The only difference now is that you have become aware of them—similar to how you become aware of the fridge's hum only when it stops. This is a simple realization: you are now conscious of what has always been happening in the background.

The second phenomenon, however, is directly initiated by the pure light of consciousness and the healing water of awareness. When these two forces are consciously applied, the energy signatures begin to grow, shift, and morph at a noticeably faster and more intense pace. This dynamic process of accelerated transformation is precisely the meaning behind the previously mentioned quotation:

"Where the attention goes, the prana (life-energy) flows."


The Inner Blocks
As we begin to consciously aware this inner body flow, we’ll inevitably notice areas that resist movement. These blocked parts often correlate with muscular tensions, held tightly within the body. In our normal outward-focused state of consciousness, we remain largely unaware of these tensions. Yet, as soon as these rigid areas collide with the enhanced flow in the more resistance-free rivers of energy within us, we become painfully aware of their presence.
  
The key is to persist in gently awaring these unpleasant blocks. With time and patience, they will begin to dissolve, much like ice melting in the sun.

The Tibetans, with their profound wisdom, offer a beautiful metaphor for this process. They liken the human experience to that of an ice-body filled with energetic blocks. Through the tantric practice of tummo—the cultivation of inner heat—this rigid, frozen state gradually melts into a flowing water-body, symbolizing liberated energy in fluid conscious awareness.

William Blake, in his poetic genius, also speaks to this transformative phenomenon:

"If the doors of perception were cleansed,
everything would appear to man as it is: infinite."
William Blake

Blake's insight echoes the Tibetan perspective, reminding us that the infinite oneness of conscious awareness is always present, waiting to be revealed through the melting away of inner barriers and the cleansing of perception. When we dissolve the frozen constructs within, what emerges is the boundless flow of life itself.
 

THE INFINITE ONENESS OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS
Now what reveals itself on the level of identity when we continue to pixellate ourselves into abstract sensations of energy in the ever ongoing process of melting inner blocks of resistance? As we enter deeper levels of conscious awareness the various clusters of pixels seem to exchange into a common currency, a united abstraction leading into a world with less and less names and forms. Metaphorically we could say that we have reached back to the primordial ground of stardust. Hence energy, not even confined to signatures or clusters becomes more and more relevant as a 'lingua franca'.
  
In the next little session I invite you to observe and explore the sensations coming from the surface of the skin in your hands. Now fold your hands and close your eyes once more for a while.
  

After coming back: Did you notice that the skin borders between your hands seem to disappear when the energy, as a ball of oneness, makes the hands merge into each other? Our external senses tend to divide everything, while the internal senses, at least as experienced on a subjective level, seem to unify everything. As perhaps the most close and intimate sense, the mechanism of skin sensationing seems to be able to do both. As you sit with closed eyes, observe how the exteroceptive skin sensations of sitting, the places where you are in contact with the pillow or chair, seem to blur into oneness. This oneness also includes the interoceptive sensations of the inner body in the same area. There seems to be an evolutionary link between outer skin sensations in a given body area and an enhanced ability to feel the deeper 'energies' emerging from the organic life beneath the skin.

Now is that not amazing how much we can 'learn' or rather unlearn from just simple observations of hands holding hands?

Close your eyes again for a few minutes and verify again for yourself how 'awaring' hands in hands plays out in your inner laboratory. Remember to base your meditation practice on what you yourself are able to verify, not on what I or others say to you. In meditation, we get inspired from outside, but we only follow the voice(s) from inside.
 
Let me, in this context, make a claim for you to test: Just by the very act of closing our eyes, we unify ourselves and, through that, the world. This simple act is the beginning of the doors of perception being cleansed, leading to life becoming infinite. By holding your own hands, you make peace with yourself in the morphing, growing ball of abstract energy. Now, can you imagine what happens when you hold another person's hand? I leave it to you to explore the expanded adventure of holding a friend’s or even a stranger’s hands in a state of meditative pixellation.

Pixellation as a Lifestyle
In summary meditative pixellation is in my opinion, the most basic form of meditation one can practice. Unlike other meditation techniques that create ritual oases—specific time zones dedicated solely to meditation—meditative pixellation is more of a lifestyle than a technique confined to a specific timeframe. It involves cultivating a permanent habit of body-directed awareness.

Make it a lifestyle to always feel yourself as an abstract flow of energy without reflecting on or analyzing your experience. Let me massage this message into my habitual unconscious body with a mantric repetition by telling it to you: In this ever-ongoing meditation-riff, the goal is to keep returning to an innocent 'aha' awareness of the feelings and sensations in your inner body, from head to toe. The aim is to live a life in what Gurdjieff termed 'constant self-remembrance,' which implies the constant, effortless return to a state of self-referential awareness. By engaging with our inner world, we cleanse the doors of perception and might here rediscover the infinite oneness of conscious awareness.

This journey begins with a simple act: close your eyes, and aware what unfolds.

Here at the end, let me reveal yet another facet of this living diamond.

The body pixellates into energy. The energy dissolves into presence. The presence dissolves into I AM.

I AM - I AM - I AM
