vajrasattva,

In trying to make a visual out of it, would it be fair to say, that if one invisioned a large transparent cube, representing a complexity of your relations, with you imbeded wihin this transparent cube of your history and relations spanning out in all directions similtaneously, you are the centre, yet you are the full context of your own universe. Your it! That would be the vision of the wiseman of the mountaintop.
