3. Greater Awareness of the Divine
as A Non-Separate Dimension:
Ordinary "Translation"

This is Part IV-C, Chapter 3 of Chris Tong's book, Finding the Divine In Person and Waking Up From the Dream.

. . .the “Emergence” of the Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain As the Room of Existence Itself, rather than the (otherwise presumed) ego-“world” of bondage. . . .

To whole bodily recognize Me is to Enter into My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain.
To whole bodily recognize Me is to Exist in My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain.
That Instantaneous Translation Is Da.
That Is the “Thunder-Crack” of Reality Itself, when Reality Itself Shatters the illusion of all appearances.
Then you Are in the Infinite Room, Prior to the mind, the body, and the “world”.
The Boundlessness and Centerlessness of Love-Bliss That Is My Divine “Bright” Spherical Self-Domain Is What There Is to Realize.

In the anxious ego, there is always an effort to animate the body, emotion, mind, and breath for the sake of survival. Based on anxiety there are all kinds of seeking, and so on. But when there is surrender of heart — when there is true ‘self’-surrender in Communion with Me, all the faculties turned to Me — the agitations of body, emotion, mind, and breath relax. This relaxation is a characteristic, then, of devotional Communion with Me.

If there is true surrender to Me, forgetting "self", surrender of all the faculties, then Yogic signs appear, in Communion with Me.

Basic ones are a calming of the physical, a calming of emotion, a calming of mind, and (likewise) a calming of breath. Thus a yogic state of equanimity is realized in the practice of devotional Communion with Me.

The ego-surrendering, ego-forgetting heart is given over to Me, and the body-mind-complex follows. Sometimes it is just that way.

Sometimes it feels as though I am bathing in Happiness — the feeling of Happiness embraces the entire surface of the body!
