At that moment, I suddenly imagined or saw something, but unexpectedly, a light gunshot-like sound echoed in my head, and the image I was seeing was riddled with cracks, as if it had been hit by a shotgun. At that moment, the image I was seeing disappeared. This may sound like a gunshot, but some people might describe it as a momentary lightning strike. It wasn't like the rumbling of thunderclouds, nor was there a flash of light like lightning, so I didn't think it was lightning. However, when reading old yoga texts, there are expressions like "lightning" or something similar, so it's not entirely wrong to describe it as lightning.

In reality, recently, I have experienced this "cracking" or "splitting" sensation in my head several times. The location varies, from the back of the head or the throat, to the forehead or the upper part of the head, as in this case. Sometimes, I feel a "tick" or a "cracking" sensation, like the shell of an egg cracking when a chick is about to hatch.

In this case, the image cracked. Now that the image has cracked, I feel that this image is the false appearance of the world that people live in as reality. It's not perfect, but it seems that the veil of falsehood is gradually being peeled away, and I am beginning to step into the true world.

Imagination, or an image, exists as an image in the head, and people basically live in that world.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about virtual spaces, but I think that people have been living in a cage of images long before that, regardless of such next-generation technologies.

I think that meditation breaks that image and reveals the true world.

That true world is peaceful, abundant, and is love itself. However, for people who are accustomed to living in the world of images, that true world may seem like a chaotic and incomprehensible world. However, in reality, it is the opposite. The true world is absolute and is as it is. On the other hand, the world of images is a created world. People create the world of images, and many people live in the world of images created by others or by themselves.

This is not about which is happier, or anything like that. Living in the world of images is also a choice, and living in the true world is also a choice.

Living happily in the world of images is fine in itself, and in this world, most people live in this world. If it makes them happy, that's fine, and it's not something for me to say.

However, if a person wants to live in the true world, they should meditate or engage in spiritual exploration. Everything depends on choice.
