Reality begins to blur and the boundaries between body and perception dissolve into a single, unified being.
There is a sense of dreamlike stillness, as if time has paused at the very moment of insight.
This is the image of an awakened self — one that doesn’t simply look, but sees everything at once: through feeling, through skin, through gesture, through touch.
⠀
It is the birth of awareness through contact with oneself and the world.
⠀
Each eye is a mirror, yet you don’t see your reflection in them — only your sensations.
You no longer know who is the observer and who is the observed.
Suddenly, a nearly physical sense of openness arises — as if your entire perception has been laid bare.
You can no longer hide behind words, thoughts, or logic.
⠀
This feeling is similar to what one experiences in meditation:
a quiet mind, but sharply focused awareness.
You are not thinking — you simply are.
And in that simplicity, there is an extraordinary clarity.
