Bifocal vision (not lenses or spectacles)!

Please bear with me and try to find a way to forgive me, if the answer to this rare type of question sounds a bit mystic. To my humble knowledge, experience seems to be the only way to de-mystify the phenomenon to its full extent. Yet there is always that inquisitiveness to ask, and a still greater eagerness to struggle with the words to find an appropriate answer!
I would take a chance with my dear readers, what ever it takes!

Spiritually speaking... what is one to do when one's consciousness incorporates a wider vision of itself......?
...and one's physical focus feels threatened?


My answer:
There are only two possible situations where this could occur.
One is under the direct supervision of an experienced spiritual master. Under this situation, there is no reason to worry about any threat to one's physical focus. It would not happen, and the sense of security that the master would offer due to proximity is overwhelming enough to ensure any apprehensions creeping in.
The second possibility (this is perhaps why even such a question itself gets prompted to be asked!) is that this could occur naturally. Naturally meaning, own efforts whether consciously or otherwise, awares or unawares, due to that rare support of the situation. A typical example would be, we have seen growth of a small plant due to some bird dropping the seed of a fruit into the crevice of a huge tree, Then wind brings dust, mud into that crevice formed by the branches , the rain drops providing the moisture etc. How far that plant would grow is quite speculative, depending upon the type and variety of seed etc. This is just an indicative example, not to be taken too literally.When such widening of that 'vision' occurs, the physical body has to be capable of enduring the 'effects' of such widening, and there is no basis for even a doubt to occur, regarding threat to that 'physical focus'. All that a person could do is to rejoice it, struggle to retain that wider vision, and impatiently struggle to get it back!

There is also a third situation, about which I am a bit hesitant to mention here, since it would seem too incredible, but suffice it to say, that it is a subtle combination of the first two types! The experience is 'deluxe' (like we differentiate those public transport buses from 'ordinary' and 'deluxe' !)
I am very pleasantly surprised at the very question. It is I who owes any gratitude for the chance to even look at the question!
