Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

In the realm of meditative exploration and timeless stillness, 'infinite space' emerges not merely as a concept but as a vivid, palpable presence that defies the confines of ordinary perception. It is the boundless expanse that unveils itself when the mind relinquishes its habitual grasping and the heart opens to the profundity of the present moment. Infinite space transcends the spatial dimensions acknowledged by conventional understanding; it is the spiritual vastness where inner and outer merge, where the apparent dichotomies of self and other dissolve into an exquisite, luminous openness. This space is both a refuge and a revelation, inviting a deeper intimacy with the unfathomable mystery of being, and offering a gateway to insights that illuminate the very nature of existence and consciousness itself.
