For me, Blackstone's references to inhabiting the body imply separation between me and my body, and I have difficulty with that. I believe unitive consciousness embodies and there is no separation between being and body. The time is now that I see oneness, more than connection, between my perception and my physiological process. I think, similarly, that there is no separation between tree and what tree is made of, or tree perception and its physiological process. What helps me maintain inward contact is a sensation or some experience in my inner space catching my attention and my going with it. Belief in inner space and unitive consciousness help me to allow or embrace some amount of unitive consciousness at times. It helps me to sometimes get a little bit outside thinking and language which separate.
