I understand the words you are saying, however I’m trying to fit my experience into those words with those words into the experience. In this moment I feel and experience which might be called a relative ecstasy, or just ecstasy. I use the term relative because there are other experiences that I would also call ecstasy that somewhat different. I think what you have written is suggesting to me that the ecstasy I’m feeling in my body is the essence of the universe, or something like that the query or? I have as regards my understanding of your writing is that I’m not sure how I am in the world hearing people around me engaging with people and then as I breathe and settle in myself I feel a goddamn amazing subtle/not subtle experience that has a legitimate call to be termed ecstasy. I am also caught up in the more common usages of the word ecstasy that her more or less drug related, there losing of clear sensation of the world. And I don’t feel that.
Anyway I enjoyed your presentation last year taste of love and I like getting your newsletter. If you’d like to discuss this stuff next time you’re in Brisbane, I’d love to do so cheers for now
