The centaur lives in the present!
Last weekend, near Vladivostok, the second part of the retreat with Rama ended.
This Force drawing was devoted to the study of the following, after (mask and shadow) false identification - (Ego and Body).
In
this false identification of oneself only with the mind, a person lives
by passing the boundary between himself (the mind) and the body (what
he thinks he owns).
Thus, he, identifying himself only with the mind-ego, represents himself as a rider, and the body as a horse. When the boundary between the Ego and the body dissolves, we turn from a rider into a centaur.
