Meaning of the cell
The journey through the world of fantasy is coming to an end, and he is moving toward the real world and the practice of karma-yoga. He does not know how soon he will be able to reach his goal, Cosmic Consciousness, but from his own experience he has seen that he can overcome the levels of being by raising his energy. This is a moment of overcoming, and the spirit of joy fills the player. He has managed to pass through the first chakra and now feels no fear and is fully confident in himself. Rising above sensual desires, he has completed the second stage as well. He feels himself at the summit of his being and of the whole world. The sense of time disappears: joy is always eternal, however brief its moment may be. The limitations of space also vanish: joy knows no boundaries. Yet joy cannot be permanent: soon the forces of karma begin their work, impelling the player to move through the third level.
