A greater sense of inner space.
The feeling that the interiority of oneself has expanded or is deeper.
On the most basic level, there is a feeling the inside one's body is not limited to organs and tissues but a sense of space. There is in the most profound experience an Ocean of Being that one can descend into and explore.
“The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.”
Pliny the Elder
THIS CLAY JUG
by Kabir
Inside this clay jug there are canyons
and pine mountains, and the maker of
canyons and pine mountains!
All seven oceans are inside, and
hundreds of millions of stars.
The acid that tests gold is there, and
the one who judges jewels.
And the music from the strings
no one touches, and the source of
all water.
If you want the truth, I will tell you
the truth:
Friend, listen:
the God whom I love is inside.
