Hi,
I did Ex. 9 as described – but not “sitting quietly” but while biking and shopping in Supermarket. I´m aware of the space inside in different directions and sensing and outside (seeing the blue sky widen my perceiving of space. A lot of outside impressions didn´t make me considering special, but I became aware of my thinking “into” space. Immediately “my” space seems getting one dimension more. Being, moving, “feeling” space, better my spacious openess and now adding thinking, as if thinking would have expanded and condensed space at the same time.
This experience stayed long time in me as expansion. I read on p. 32: Appearance manifests space: what appears “in” space is space in operation”. In my case: my thinking is appearance – which manifests space, and what appears in space is space in operation. This makes sense, now. Also last notion on p.34 -this abundance seems inexhaustible – as long as I´m living.
I hope I could make it clear what about I´m so impressed.
