FWIW, Eckhart Tolle would say that such feelings can be a wonderful gateway from object consciousness to "space" consciousness (perhaps space and spacey doesn't have the same "air head" sub-connotation in german as it does in english. :) ) Just being aware of the feeling, keeping awareness gently on it, can bring awareness of the space consciousness behind it. Many teachers say a similar thing. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
