Through the door of meditation, the imprisoned Soul-Bird of Omnipresence was released.

It spread its wings of joy and flew over infinite space, casting cool peace-shadows on

unhappiness-scorced beings. Then the Bird of Heaven remembered its little cage of past


habits, and folding its wings, lodged itself again behind the bars of earthliness..."

Wow ... what a beautiful way to describe the awesome feeling of freedom from the body through meditation. This state of being is discribed so originallly how we are not the body, and how we can become free from it when ever we choose too.

The body is merely the cage in this case before one leaves the delusion that is the state before awareness.

Thank you Jon ... I love Paramahansa Yogananda's way of expression, no wonder you relate well with him, being the poet you are, you must have fell inlove with his words as I have, as well as yours, teehee. hug
