Appearance fills the whole of Space
On page 33 of DTS, in italics, there’s a phrase that I don’t understand: “Since appearance never takes form, each appearance–inseparable from space–fills the whole of space.” It’s filling all of space that I don’t understand. Is this pointing to the … Continue reading
Removing the Container–Michael
Watching a splash of light dancing around my livingroom wall, as I was reading the image from DTS of a containing box being folded up, I wondered where the light on my wall came from. Without getting up, I worked out … Continue reading

Riding the Wave of the moment
Hi, I really appreciated the experiential vividness of the last three posts (Arthur, David, Marcia). My own experience of the exercise in the last two paragraphs of DTS 99 is helping me to understand the recent readings. In particular, the … Continue reading
The First Moment
“Does each earlier moment already encompass within it the potential for all succeeding moments of time?” (LOK 122) Â This invokes for me the more local issue of how a single cell can contain all that is needed for the evolution … Continue reading
