Consciousness

[Ming the Merciful]

Ming, I think key is as you say,

depending where we are grounded in the moment.

but the possibility of being in that state of combining both is there so cool even if brief at first…

Basically, it is gaining the skills on how to do it. Living, (and being aware), of both States. I mentioned in another Thread, that if we can encompass the "Art of Being", (or), living in the moment, although remaining detached from the meditative state. Not that I am denying meditation, (per se), and it should be used as a separate tool. Simple awareness of the "Now", and a reflection of the Universal Consciousness. There is detachment on the Gross Physical Level, (and yet we remain in it), and a part of the Universal State. The "I am" as the individual, and the "I AM" of the Universal State are the same thing, it is only how it is perceived in the moment. The more we become detached from our "Self" and physical possessions, the closer we become to the Universal Consciousness.
