Summary
The exploration of inner space, our own consciousness, is ultimately connected to our discovery of outer space. Just as the world becomes a smaller place with increase in communication and transport technology, so the universe becomes a smaller place with the increase in meditation technology!

Thank you. I must say I'm very impressed with the way Mary pronounce my name. I couldn't have said it better myself. About 25 years ago, I was in my final year of medical school. But I'd been doubting my career choice for quite some time. Then one day I went to take blood from a sweet little old lady struck an artery instead of a vein, I still don't know how I did that. And as blood spurted out all over the place, I said to myself, yep, you're definitely in the wrong profession here. So in the interest of all concerned, I dropped out and became a yogi instead. Hence my unconventional appearance.
Well, actually, it's not the only reason for my unconventional appearance, one of many shall we say. So I'd like to share with you the yogic concept of space, our inner space, what we experience within ourselves, I'm redefining the terms a bit here, and outerspace everything outside ourselves. We live in a vast universe. To give you some idea of its size.
