David Bowie – Space Oddity Lyrics 8 years ago
@[jmsn2393:5150]

Yep, exactly what you said. It's a huge metaphor for experiencing a profound mystical experience. Like the old saying goes, "As above, so below." Exploring the macrocosm (outer space and beyond) can tend to get you lost, if you stray too far. In the same way, delving into the microcosm (one's innermost self) can be an enormous journey, capable of disconnecting you from others just as much as a trek into deep space can.

The people that have dived far enough into expanding their consciousness through meditation or various --ahem-- OTHER methods know: Sometimes you go so far, that you start to wonder if you'll ever make it back. Or maybe you do come back, but things are never quite the same again.
