The space hasn't entered the room
It's not trapped in the room
Just because the door is shut
The space was already here
And still is
Inside, outside, and throughout
The room was just imposed onto the space
The space remains unchanged and unaffected

So we never entered the beingness (mind-body)
Not trapped in it
Not affected by it
It's just something imposed onto us/me
Just like the space
I was here before, here now, and
Will be here long after the beingness goes
Unchanged and unaffected

But I didn't enter (the womb)
I wasn't even pulled in
Anymore than space gets pulled into a room
Prior to conception,
I was in the same state I am in now
The only change was the beingness
Being imposed onto me
It doesn't matter though
I remain unchanged and unaffected
