The poetic exploration of feelings (perhaps started this week by Eric) seems like a step in the direction of a third kind of knowing: one that includes the “intensity and intimacy†of polar knowledge, and the appetite for coherence found in descriptive knowledge; but a form of knowing that yearns to be free of its enslavement to past conditioning. –Michael
About Michael Gray
I first started studying TSK in the mid 1980's and have since attended a number of retreats and workshops at the Nyingma Institute, in both TSK and Buddhist themes. I participated in the life-changing Human Development Training Program in 1991, and upon returning to Albuquerque co-founded an organization, Friends in Time (with a friend who has Lou Gehrig's Disease), which continues to serve people with similiar disabilities. I contributed an essay to "A New Way of Being"--the last one in the book--in which I describe how learning to honor who I have been has broadened and deepened my openness to present experience. I live in New Mexico with my wife and two sons.
