Most people live under the impression that their awareness is trapped inside their physical frame. We tend to believe that our existence is centered entirely behind our eyes, ending exactly where our skin meets the air. However, this biological perspective is a limited view of reality. When we realize that our consciousness is not tethered to our anatomy, by shifting our vantage point — by means of meditation, astral projection, and other altered states of consciousness —, we can experience an understanding that consciousness exists independently of the physical form. I dare to say, it is the discovery of our “truer” position in the universe.
When we step back from the physical self in a sane manner, we begin to see the body as a temporary instrument rather than the person playing the music. In this expanded state, the self is revealed not as a solid object but as a continuous process of energy and information. This shift proves that the material world is not the foundation of existence. Instead, physical matter is a dense expression of a much more fluid and fundamental consciousness. Once we perceive reality without the filter of our senses, we understand that we are the process of observation itself.
Without the ego and its constant demands for comfort or validation, we see that suffering comes from trying to protect a temporary biological shell. Being good reveals itself as a natural pull toward unity. But not only that, being good means living in a way that reflects the vastness of the universe. Paradox!
After a profound life-changing experience of the mind, coming back to the physical body can feel like a heavy burden. However, once we have seen the blueprint of existence, we are forever changed. Now one must no longer be a victim of biology.
We have stood in a place where time is not linear — it revolves around — and we carry that stillness back into our daily lives. This perspective acts as a compass, reminding us that while we must play our roles in society, we are truly the silent Witness attending — manifesting the unity of the observer and the observed within our everyday actions.
