I was reading [[books:awake_its_your_turn|Awake]] and brushing my teeth and was very chill and my mind was quiet. I finished and rinsed and walked a few feet to the towel to dry my face and as I did that it felt like I wasn't doing it. I noticed the odd sensation and the thought "the universe is drying it's face" floated through my mind and got a smile, but I had the distinct impression that I wasn't doing anything. I do not believe the universe is conscious and was moving me. IMO that's just [[ideas:wooshit]]. If the universe is conscious then it's nothing that our little monkey brains can grok and thinking otherwise is just your ego telling you how special you are. What I think happened is that I hit the right state of mind and dropped all my stories. So as I rinsed and moved to dry my face I was just watching. I wasn't participating in any way, I was just letting my body do something it had done lots of times before. My current view is that this is what we're trying to achieve with meditation, getting to a state where our brain will just relax and things be without the need to make up stories and explain things. ~~DISCUSSION~~
