• that connection then you open up the space open up the space of awareness just a little bit bigger than the whole

• realize that what they're talking about is that vastness of awareness that we talked about two weeks ago whenever it

• not an identification with the object but identification with the awareness and that's uh more subtle and more deep
• and that's uh more subtle and more deep to disidentify with the awareness when we can something else will open up as i
• um or rather it's harder to see it when the awareness is open and you're just kind of getting this experience and that
• what is really awareness yeah more units yeah okay yeah okay units good word yeah
• i can experience it as an impression in awareness and vast awareness i can experience it as pain etc all that is
