Like a powerful telescope, the concentrated mind can open us to vast mystical states including realms of light, visions, rapture, and illumination. Like polishing a lens on a microscope, concentration can also allow us to see more deeply into the body and mind. Microscopic concentration initially brings a subtle awareness of body, a sensitivity to fleeting feelings, a refined perception of thoughts and memory. Going even deeper, we can open to an atomic level of perception.
