This exercise gives me an image of the self as a magnet influencing and attracting its surrounding, or a planet that is curving time and space itself like Einstein suggests, or even a black hole “consuming” all that is near. Loosening identification with this center and “tuning in” more on the field around it gives me a very natural smile on my face and the sudden feeling of secureness and intimacy. Unfortunately this doesn’t last very long.

The spontaneous smile and feelings of intimicay are there but it is difficult to stay in this focus on reality, in a short while I return to the self centered vision; that is why it doesn’t last long
Why do you think it doesn’t last very long? What happens?
