Message #32931

[Jitendra Hydonus]

The sense of just being in a room and not feeling in any way part of that room. Such an unusual feeling it must be seeking no pleasures for the body. Usually I think of expansion beyond the body but he does a mind twizzler here to you. Like how do you get attached to a body when your consciousness is in all space?

“It is impossible for a devotee who has merged himself in the vastness of Spirit to consider himself confined to any human personality”. He makes being anyone on earth look like child’s play next to the vastness of spirit. As though; ‘ really? So you say you are Paul McCartney? Welcome to your delusions and limitations.’

It really gives the phrase “ I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes onto the father but by me” a truly different meaning. He could leave the body at will with that state of consciousness. It leaves you wondering was he sometimes still identified to it? Certainly not after the resurrection.

I think that I go thru various states of identify to the body and its personality. It’s difficult to explain the feeling to someone who has never experienced the state of being beyond identification with a personality or body.

It will be nice to read again together from Yogananda’s translation of the Gita. Thanks Eric.
