Week 8 — Trace the tendency of mind to move toward solidity…

Multiplicity and Wholeness
Sometimes the TSK texts seem to be asking us to shrink our world: flattening three-dimensional space; the suggestion that separation and distance are not real attributes of appearance; the suggestion that a single appearance can fill all of Space. At … Continue reading
thoughts without substance
I am finding the recognition that “thoughts have no substance” helpful in freeing me from the reactivity I experience around thoughts and their contents. It has been useful to consider “thoughts” as a space in which content appears. This helps … Continue reading

During meditation a few days ago, as I was watching the fire-reddened tip of the incense stick and filling my olfactory senses with that familiar smell, I noticed that my mind immediately began to go to all the things that … Continue reading
