Subtle ExperienceTherefore, the more accustomed we are to the inner stillness and peacefulness, the more perceptive we become on the subtle dimensions. This can take our inquiry to deeper levels, to a newer kind of knowledge, to a different kind of experience… It is amazing to be able to experience at such subtle levels, to feel a state and see it and taste it, all at the same time. Sometimes you can’t tell whether you are seeing, hearing, tasting, or touching – at these subtle depths, it is all one act. Then your whole soul is ablaze. It is as though each atom of the soul were capable of all the capacities. For although these capacities initially operate through particular centers, just like the lataif do, ultimately they are not limited to certain locations or particular organs. The whole soul becomes an organ of perception, and all the capacities can operate in any part of the body. (Spacecruiser Inquiry, pg 321)
The fact that subtle capacities exist indicates that perception
can extend inwardly to subtler dimensions, which is necessary
for our inquiry to go beyond the conventional dimension of experience.
The inner realm has many kinds of miraculous dimensions, and inquiry
is an adventure into these new dimensions and universes. This
is part of the excitement of the journey, and it is a valid excitement
because it is our life and our possibility. (Spacecruiser Inquiry,
pg 322) |
