Walk 8

• Expand, or contract consciousness, at will.
• If it is not your will, then the expansion and contraction will be controlled by circumstances.
• Meditation can go either way, it can either expand, or contract your consciousness.
• The type, and nature of intent plays a significant role. 
• The activity, of meditation, itself is repetitive and insentient. A mechanization at most.
• The mechanization however is needed as base to stand on.
• Gradually the repetitive activity will be lost.
• Consciousness defined by the intent, will remain.
• Both expansion and contraction have their own rewards, and necessity.

-----------------------------------------------

• Shiva, without Shakti, was undifferentiated consciousness. 
• This undifferentiated consciousness is the self, but something other than ego.
• It is formless, and without attributes.
• Shiva created Shakti. The seer created the seen.
• Material world manifested out of consciousness, therefore.
