Imagine and feel that you are an ice cube and that is your present incarnation and in that cube is stored you present life's experiences, with graphic memories of the high's and low's and that you are full and vibrant or depressed and sunken beneath some unknown fear or a heavy pressing overbearing weight. Perhaps you are riding high or contemplating suicide or into heavy addiction and distraction anything to bury or ease the pain of living. Then feel the sides of the cube interrelating and interfacing to those near and dear or alone and isolated, whatever your circumstance endeavour to see your journey so far.

As our  lives move on the ice cube is melting and losing its shape of course the ice would melt quickly as to compared the analogy as to our body and also depicting the relationships regarding the elapse of time and its disparities. The interfaces may change and if the cubes were in a bowl they would interface at differing angles as the melt progresses which may by analogy mean changes in relationships.

For those with hard and fast rules, disciplines and beliefs they might endeavour to stop the melting and refuse to lose shape and content. They might fear mortality and even fight the process of death and gradual dying. And some who see that the thoughts and content of their minds are but inherited and inculcated and conditioned and realise their 'brain washed' content and that it is mere thought and conditioning and feel the cube is real as life goes on this planet and has rules of engagement and are content to hold very little of the content as possible and furthermore they realise that their journey maybe to find another 'level' of content and they may awaken to a deeper fundamental consciousness which does not rely on the content of thought and the melting process, this is the process of natural evolutionary procedure and they are merely following increments and steps to no thought in fact steps to nowhere.

They accept they are a temporary form arsing in this space ( consciousness) and the formless nature in which they tasted through the awareness of stillness is Life and that is their true nature. The so called empty mind the 'no mind' is not the cube and their identity with the cube or their body is a natural process and the melting is leading them to the unknown, the nothingness, the empty atom is a step into the unknown and they realise they were not afraid of the unknown but were clinging to known that is the analogy of the cube to the body and they can let go of the cube without fear or trepidation and accept and live without identity in the embrace of the still silent space of Being.

We become conscious of our true nature beyond thought and the so called thoughtless nature of no form or content, we become self aware of ourselves as indeed the Universe is.
