Any person could take physical breathing as an analogue to the systole and diastole of the universe, the ceaseless rhythm of cosmic ideation. Such meditation is so far removed from mundane concepts of cerebration and cogitation that one can only move towards it by negating every framework and model employed by the analytical mind. When the chela is ready for initiation by the guru, he receives the instruction needed for radical transformation of his subtlest vestures. The ancient Catechism teaches that Space, the Germ in the Root and the Great Breath are all one. The conceptual separation between the three is only an accommodation to the limitations of one's understanding, which seems to need a sequential succession of states.
Mundane consciousness is caught up in ordinary time, experienced as a succession of moments.
But once one transcends the hypnotic illusion of momentary succession and gains some experience of eternal duration, one begins to see that space, potentiality and motion are interconnected. Eternal Space, the Germ in the Root and the Great Breath are metaphysically abstract but causally fundamental in comparison with all differentiated modes. It is necessary when one begins a day to recognize that there was a night before and there is a night ahead. When one initiates a stream of activity one should salute those souls that are leaving the earth and those that are waiting to come into incarnation. Most people can barely bring a modicum of significance to daily living, still less can they continually include within their horizon all beings, embodied and disembodied.
