Horizontal and vertical freedom

What is horizontal freedom?

When we meditate thoughts and emotions arise.  But from time to time, the thoughts and emotions pacify, there is a gap, an horizontal gap.  When that happens, we can continue to meditate resting in the awareness itself.

What is vertical freedom?

Although during the meditation arise thoughts and emotions, we can practice without getting involved with them.  Then we can feel a comfortable space despite their presence.  There is a vertical gap, an space between our meditation and the thoughts and emotions.  We we entangle with them the gap disappears.
