I was outdoors walking in a sidewalk around a lake looking at the sky and making a connection with a cloud. In the beginning, I felt as if I was catching the cloud with a silk thread, and after reversing, I felt as if the cloud was catching me with a silk thread. All of a sudden, the subtle tension between subject and object vanished and a warm openness took place, an intimacy and integration with the surrounding making me feel more present and alive. In that moment I was confident that knowledge would come to me if I needed.<\/p>\n<p>In ex 34 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Embodiment of Knowledge, visualizing light and let it circulate throughout my body, brought a very soft and warm feeling, very nourishing, that made the border of my body disappear. No more inside and outside, I was one with the surroundings nothing to catch or being caught.<\/p>\n<p><em>Everything includes everything, and no separations or disharmonies are found when appearance is seen as the embodiment of knowledge.
