Now you are “around yourself” all of the time. You are ever becoming yourself. In a manner of speaking you are “composed” of those patterns of yourself that are everywhere coming together.

You would not feel imprisoned as you often do within one corporal form, for you would understand that the body itself maintains its relative stability because of its constant give-and-take with the materials of the earth that are themselves possessed of consciousness.
