"Road Trip Mind is more about inner journeys than outer ones. "


Absolutely! In fact, I read the following a couple of days ago, and it seems appropriate here. Discussing the microcosm of body-mind as a connection to the outer cosmos.

According to the "Shiva-Samhita" a 17th Century Hatha Yoga manual:-


"Within this body exist Mount Meru, the seven continents, lakes, oceans, mountains, plains, and the protectors of these plains.

In it also dwell the seers, the sages, all the stars and planets, the sacred river crossings and pilgrimage centres, and the deities of these centres.

In it whirl the sun and moon, which are the causes of creation and annihilation. Likewise, it contains ether, air, fire, water, and earth.

All beings embodied in three world, which are connected to Mount Meru, exist in the body together with all their activites.

He who knows all this is a yogin. There is no doubt about this."

(From "TANTRA The Path of Ecstasy" by Georg Feuerstein)
