The distance dissolved, or better, changed its quality. There was no distance in 4 m. I thought: space is not distance! Space seemed me not predictable in m, cm. Space is\/ has another level, category.!?<\/p>\n<p>From this moment, I stopped to ask for definitions (for ex.: what is glow, what is the appropriate translation, what is blossom in the context) .To zoom in or zoom out was helpful for trying to get different points of view.<\/p>\n<p>I remembered an old film of Woody Allen( about &#8220;Sex&#8221;), you could see spermatozoon in high speed, red erythrocytes and then, you could see &#8220;the world&#8221;, environment out of the &#8220;eyes&#8221; of the erythrocytes. And I could see myself now very tiny, minute in my zoomed in living room, with this sofa etc. I, the tiny Arthur, felt hisself in a integrated whole, in this unit is nothinge separate. Me, the sofa, candles, all is one united picture. No distance is there, although this &#8220;picture&#8221; has an extension( here the sofa, there the table&#8230;.)<\/p>\n<p>In my imaged Liliput-picture I see no experiencable distance. This phenomen I can describe, but not &#8220;feel&#8221;. But in &#8220;real&#8221; situation, sitting on chair toward object-sofa, wall, candles and their phosphorescent glow &#8211; I could experience the distance when I imaged the space between me and the sofa. For ex.: I thougth, if you stand up, doing 4,5 steps, you could touch the sofa. As if I could &#8220;zooming&#8221;, changing between two worlds( or more). The one world is: a unit world with no separation of objects and me; I\u00c2\u00b4m_in all objects and all objects are together with me( not so in me, with me), present to me.<\/p>\n<p>There was much mor happened. I\u00c2\u00b4m more satisfied about my &#8220;willingness&#8221; to let myself more into the experience.<\/p>\n<p>I I\u00c2\u00b4m not so diligent answering your posts- I read all of your writing.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, I was sitting opposite the sofa in my living room, the wall with pictures behind, burning candles on the small table between.
