Had a very interesting meditation experience today.
As per my JOL 3 curriculum I've been meditating on timeless awareness. It's been pleasant, and trippy, but eventually I decided to just rest in open awareness.
Soon I felt my energy begin to expand. Really expand. Expand to the point where I started to feel like a kind of giant spiritual jellyfish with a very thin membrane separating me from the timelessness, limitless ether, that is really who "I" am.
It didn't burst. But my consciousness started to ponder. "So, what am I going to do for the rest in my life in this skin pocket."
Suddenly I started laughing and laughing. "Skin pocket," I found myself repeating and again and again, each time sending me into another wave of helpless laughter. As I returned to ordinary awareness, which now felt like it would never be ordinary awareness again, I kept imagining myself going through the rest of my life referring to myself as my "skin pocket."
It was so true.
That's all I really am. Just a skin pocket for this consciousness inside me and outside me.
Hahahahaha.
Wonder if I'll ever stop laughing at this.
