This is what I grasped, watching a video about

Federico Faggin’s experience of consciousness.

He felt this light emanating from his chest.

He experienced that compelling unconditional love.

He felt himself in those particles of light emanating from him.

He was those glittering pulsating lights.

He was that consciousness.

He was that awareness.

He was the observer watching himself.

It was a life changing moment for him.

This consciousness was in him, around him.

He, the ego self is in this consciousness.

He is so right.

I often shared, “The universe is in you.”

When I first experience it, I wondered,

How could I contain the universe?

This small body of mine, how could I contain it?

Yet that was how I experienced it when I wanted to go into the Universe mentally.

I could go outside of myself into space.

Or I could go within myself and experience that space, that Universe within.

One day, it came to me.

I was limiting it to the existence of my body self.

The body self is limiting but not my spirit self.

My spirit self is not contained within my body self.

My body self is contained within my spirit self.

And my spirit self is bigger, and part of that immense universe.

Hence when I experience it, I am able to go inward to experience it.

It is akin to dropping deep into this inner space in me.

And experience everything within that huge immense inner space.

Of  no limits, no depths, no boundaries.

Just a huge immensity of space.

A man who died and came back to life told me,

“You do not go outside of yourself to find God, you know.

You go within yourself.”

I told him, “Yes, that is how I meditate.”

He acted as though imparting immense knowledge to me,

Unaware I had experienced God within myself.

That experience opened the door to mysticism, 

to the Universe, and above all to God within.
