The comments from Louise & Diana make a good contrast. On the one hand, Louise ably describes with many words the upward seeking force where the individual seeks the experience of personal presence spiked with a shot of Divine awareness, whereas what Diana asks about is what the descending spiral of the blessing process looks like.
For some, the process begins with sitting with opened eyes and just looking at whatever one sees in front of one. This has the effect of pulling away layers of distraction. Next, one observes how the objects one sees are existing in space, that is, one sees the space around them as a tangible thing. This has the effect of suggesting inwardly a perception of space as a tangible thing. Next, with eyes closed, one turns 180 degrees away from the outer world, one turns all sense awareness inwardly within that inner space. Finally, the question is posed, "Can you go further now, beyond perception?" And it's in that place beyond perception where I was perfused with sweet inebriation.
