The machine room reveals the negative power of the surface mind over our body,
and shows the creative power of the deep mind beyond our body.
Indeed, this physical body of ours is to the body in its multidimensionality what the surface reflexive mind is to the deep creative mind.
The deeper we descend into the non-material aspects of the body, the more the notion of ‘mine’ crumbles and becomes unstable.
The deeper we penetrate the depths of the mind, the rarer and less relevant self-centered focuses become.
Thus, the depths of the mind act beyond this physical body. And the channels it feeds irrigate the deepest bodies of all beings.
The concept of a tree loses its relevance upon the discovery of interconnected underground root systems.
The tree is merely a visible manifestation in a specific location.
I cannot help thinking even this fails to appreciate the real depth of being. Where the tree’s roots are indistinguishable from the soil, that is, itself, just part of a speck of dust dancing in the limitless that is beyond the boundaries of time and space.

And can we go even wider that this and flip the whole forestmodel upside down and find the depth of being in our enemy, colleague, or even spouse yelling at us ?

All is consciousness. All is one.
Seems a reasonable conclusion, then. I’ll try to remember next time Mrs A tells me how daft I am…
