recently talked about this idea with a friend, and the definition she gave me helped me both to understand this concept I would love to share:
Consciousness is like the focus of a camera, it expands and contracts ... I can be zooming to a point and just see that point with my camera. Until I find I have more options, I can put it on macro, pan, zoom ... I can change, then I discover that changing the focus, I can change my perception of things, if I put in the same view but together, my vision is broad. If I put the zoom I see small things better but I lose the set.
Thus our conscience when it is collapsed, only see the little things, he sees to detail but places them in a whole, when consciousness expands, then I have a panoramic view.
But that focus is what it is, and with my camera I can not change, I can only change my view.
With expanded awareness understand that we can not change the events of our lives, but to alter the point where he is seen. With this change of perspective we discover that we are not separate, that is no longer just the "I" and experience feelings of unity.
expanded awareness can reach the absolute limits, we can cover up to infinity and feel part of it, reach a full understanding of the universe by a few tenths of a second.
