Understanding Samapatti

Abstract

Every observation by the dispassionate observer can be an entanglement of more than one individual conscious person. I am inclined to the view that the dispassionate observer is separate from the whole reality, and yet it appears to occupy the same space as the whole reality. From that I assume the whole reality exists in a different kind of space, most likely the space given the Sanskrit name of Akasha. I would say that Akasha is a nonlocal space which permeates our spacetime and is simultaneously in every space and all time. From that nonlocal viewpoint, consciousness, as a fundamental point of observation separate from the whole reality, is naturally dispassionate. This is why a seer is able to experience life and observe death without grief.
