Now imagine the expansion of the universe is done. God is reabsorbing it, taking it back into the Eternal Being, and this galaxy is plunging into a black hole. As you say the Sh’ma’ now, imagine your voice and awareness merging with that of a universe dipping into the infinite mikveh of God.

Then, after you have gone with your heart and mind to all these places, say the Sh’ma’ a fifth time bringing all the four situations together. When you have done this, you will have the sense of what the kabbalists used to call a yihud—a ‘unification.’
