What Are These Qualities I Experience During Meditation?

I experience feelings of expansion, radiance, and generativity during meditation – are they qualities of essential being? Rupert says: ‘These are your mind’s attempts to describe the experience of being on its own terms . . . Being is not expansive or expanded. It has no dimension . . . But for a mind that is accustomed to believing that it is localised and limited . . . when you go to your being and the mind then tries to describe that experience, it tries to describe it on its own terms . . . The mind used to think I am contracted. So it now says I am expanded . . . Radiance, the mind’s activity is characterised by agitation, and sorrow . . . So the mind describes [being] in contrast with its previous darkness as a state of radiance.’
