I'm reading Time, Space, and Knowledge by Tarthang Tulku. He takes you through a cool through exercise where you imagine a giant translucent human body. So imagine a 3D wireframe figure where each bone and internal organ is like a glowing thing where you can travel through everything, but still detect the borders of the various bones and internal organs. I imagine the least dense parts as light blue and the outlines as dark blue, but everything is translucent, just more or less so. Got it? Now imagine yourself as a tiny spec and you can travel around the body from inside one bone to inside an organ, to through the skin and so on. Now, Tiny Spec, as you are travelling through this body, why don't you "stop" when you're exactly at the boundary of one of the bones or organs. When you are here, Zam! Now you are simultaneously in ALL of the boundary places at the same time. Like, you are "at" every spot in the body at the same time. How is that for a trans dimensional experience!
So maybe this blog post didn't make any sense, but I thought it was delightful, so there!
