The Pulsating Nature of Apparent Contraction

You use the analogy of a rubber ball contracting to describe infinite consciousness becoming finite mind. After that initial impulse to contract, is there a stop point or is it continuous depending on where attention goes? Rupert says: ‘This self-contraction, the apparent contraction of the infinite into the finite – it’s not a fixed thing. The contracted “rubber ball” is kind of pulsating there. Sometimes it’s more densely contracted when the sense of separation is really intense. And there are also times when that intense sense of separation relaxes and expands. So, it’s a kind of contracting and de-contracting, it’s never a fixed state. But even when in a state of contraction, that contraction is always pulsating.’
