Week 4 – LOK Ex. 14 – Moments Between Moments
Normally, I’m engaged in a stream of activity as time seems to fly by. Just taking the time to observe this ‘flying by‘ has a slowing affect on the rapidity of these seemingly discrete and momentary attention-getters — it seems … Continue reading

Week 3 – TSK Ex. 26 – Transcendence of Pointings
As a result of further practice and some TSK class work, I’ve done some fine tuning to the way I’ve been observing time at different levels. I’ve returned to the activity of painting a watercolor to dive deeper into time … Continue reading
Week 1 – Linear Time
Observing my activities reveals I – ‘now‘, relate to everything else ‘then’, which reveals a past-present-future structure of linear time. I constantly attempt to freeze time in order to take up a memory of someone, or a situation, to reference … Continue reading

TSK Ex. 17 – The Object and Its Glow (continued)
Observing the way situations seem to present themselves, I noticed the either/or and this or that nature of how I assessed what was happening. The polarities seemed to jump out at me; to do something or not, based on judgments … Continue reading
TSK Ex. 17 – The Object and Its Glow
Last week I was watching for ‘bewilderment in the background‘ and noticed it before some decisions, also at the beginning of trying to figure out something. This ‘unsureness’ or unknowing seems to be part of the process of consolidating, a … Continue reading
TSK Ex. 9 B, C – ‘open up’ defining regions
Sitting on the porch, I looked out under tree branches in the back yard toward the corn field beyond. While focused on the corn I realized I had recorded and named the sequence of what was unfolding as a running … Continue reading
