Since the moment we are born we share a worldview with our parents, relatives, friends, school teachers and all the members of our society. We receive a collection of ideas and concepts that shape our view of the world and our attitudes, and that we assume as true.
We also share with all the people the wish for happiness, or in other words, the wish to be free from suffering. Genuine freedom is only reached with knowledge and the power to use this knowledge to instruct our choices and actions in order to transform our lives freeing us and everybody around from suffering.
TSK – Time, Space and Knowledge does not pursue knowledge through beliefs founded on reasons. Instead, it proceeds through active inquiry, which is seen as embodying knowledge directly. TSK follows no model or doctrine. All knowledge can be part of its vision. TSK evokes creative action and presents the challenge of evoking knowledge that is exhibited freely in time.
My motivation to study TSK comes from the wish to reach genuine freedom, the wish to question and investigate “my†current world view, “my†experience, letting myself drop away the narrowness of the positions I hold and embody the knowledge that is exhibited freely in time.
Good morning, Ellana,
I really appreciate your post. I did a double-take when I read your first few sentences, because this morning, quite unbidden, I had a sense of waking up into a personality that surrounds me like an unknown landscape into which my plane, with its not-so-self-correcting navigation system, has crash landed. All these early and late influences have assembled some kind of nexus that I call myself. I too was wondering why I have been attracted to TSK. What quality is it that remains interesting and sometimes useful? Do I continue reading the books because Jack provides a structure and I appreciate any spiritual structure that allows me to have a voice amid the tumult of all the other discordant voices? Or is there something about TSK that suits me individually? I’ll write something about my own motivation in another post, but thanks for yours. –Michael
