Science has prepared me to enter the realm of formless perception. It has been science that has prepared me by offering concepts that have made my mind more pliable and malleable, ready to enter where there is no perception or form.
My experience gives shape and form to my embracing of insight. It is the scientific experience of others that have prepared me to let go of the forms associated with perception. The contours of my mind have been shaped both by my own experience and the experience of countless individuals of science. My mind has been conditioned to yield to no form. My mind has been prepared to expand into the realm where there is no form.
Because of science, my mind can more easily combine the paradoxical realm of the historical and ultimate. For me, science has not been an impediment to the ultimate. Science has been an assist and facilitated that absorption into the formless realm.
Prepared as it has been by science, my mind is more likely to accept what the heart has come to grasp. My mind is more facile in being shaped by the heart experience of the guiding consciousness of the universe. This is the realm beyond form and perception. My heart is more easily moved by the driving energy and intellectual force of the universe. My mind, conditioned by science, is more easily shaped and led by the stirrings of my heart. I am more likely to trust with my mind what my heart already has felt and knows so well. My mind yields, puts up less resistance. It has been prepared by science to be docile to the leadership of my heart.
The experience of my heart allows my mind to open to the world of the absolute. But the mind has been prepared for that adventure by science. My mind has been freed of resistance and roadblocks. it is prepared to enter the realm that defies description and explanation.
I am grateful for all the people of science who have prepared my malleable mind for this excursion into the absolute.
