Still stuck inside

This morning, reading the new chapter and looking at the practice on page 388, I was struck with how I still think of knowledge as what I extract from the input of the senses, then process and incorporate into some kind of world view.  After years of hearing the glad tidings of TSK that knowledge is everywhere and that the senses drink from those waters (and even refering to this perspective sometimes in conversation), here I am still stuck in a mind that believes itself to be at the controls of an information processing machine.  Ah, maybe later, hearing the wind in the branches, I’ll remember a deeper human vision and relax into it for a few moments again. –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.
