"Inhale the energy of lust into your heart, and then feel outward from your heart, feeling the world as if it were your lover. With an exhale, move into the world and penetrate it, skillfully and spontaneously, opening it into love . . . Make love with the world in this way, all day, pervading and dissolving all unease. Feel the world against your body like a naked woman, vulnerable and alive, and allow the front of your body to press into and through the world's body, liberating the knots of accumulated pain . . .The way a man penetrates the world should be the same way he penetrates a woman: not merely for personal gain or pleasure, but to magnify love, openness and depth.
"Feel through your pleasure, as well as through the space around it and behind it, into the ocean upon which it shimmers . . . Practice easing your attention and penetrating through things, as if feeling through the deck of a boat into the deep rhythms of the sea, or relaxing your gaze through the objects reflected in a window pane so you can know the vast landscape behind them. Every object of your attention floats in a boundless space of being. Ease your attention through every experience so you can know and feel this depth of openness. Feel through the transparency of things into the inherent spaciousness in which they shimmer, as if feeling into an underlying ocean of silence.
