    Dear Friends,

    I recently noticed a change in my practice/understanding of EOM. I would like
    to confirm that I am not venturing in the wrong direction.

    Up until now I assumed that emptiness of thoughts implied a completely fixed
    mind, as if "crystallized", "frozen" by force of will on an invisible point. I
    think I assumed that the absence of thoughts also implied the absence of
    awareness, or at least its immobility.

    However, during my daily practice of EOM, I noticed that I could somehow expand
    and move my awareness, still maintaining an emptiness of thought. I can focus
    my awareness on my body, or move it across the room, or seemingly expand it
    beyond the physical limits of my room.

    Is this normal?!

    Under these conditions, if I focus my awareness on, say, a physical object in
    my room while maintaining EOM, would this bring the perception of the essential
    meaning of the object I am focusing on?

    Is it correct to assume that the absence of thoughts does not signify the
    "immobility" of awareness? Is it correct to say that one can maintaing EOM and
    still move one's awareness (ie. mental body??) wherever one wants to??

    Thanks in advance.

    Fraternally,
    Olivier
