Meditation

Through meditation it is possible to retract one's awareness from the world, and in so doing dissolve the division between one's perspective and the object of one's attention, such that one's very perspective becomes the object. Then, one does not see the surroundings so much as the movements in the surroundings that indicate one's own motion. One sees the world as the subconscious sees it and the here-and-now becomes palpable.
