A new twist > here! Thanks again! Really, what it boils down to is breath = time. What happens is, as we transcend time, the breath becomes more subtle--even during activity. Even when first accomplished, breath can be subtle for days at a time. Really the subtlety of breath is connected in a very concrete way, to the subtlety we are able to experience, both in meditation and activity. Traditionally this is linked to the "length" of the breath (in and out). At a certain length, gross siddhis occur. Bring it shorter, you can fly. The entire relationship of subtlety of breath is well known by breath-yogis as to the result. Ultimately, what must be accomplished, is breath must stop to really "get behind reality". It's a death really. Death while living. Then jivan-mukti--liberation-while-living is possible. Tom and I were talking on this last week and he added the really relevant point is that many who achieve liberation or approach it importantly, all have died and come back. We agreed that some can do this consciously. But death--stopping breath and stopping time--is key. -V.
