Why am I joining the TSK program?
The TSK vision helps me to disarm myself from all kinds of conclusions about this self and about the world I live in. It is a way to ‘unfreeze’ and to open up the warming love in me and that in others. The moment I tune in the vision, space unfolds… knowing it was always here. There’s really nothing to protect and to hold on, and trusting on that is a very interesting process whereby the TSK vision guides me.
Through inquiry as a way of life the world really comes alive and interconnected. Like you put a coin in a rusty puppetmachine, which makes the lights in it go on and the puppets move and surprise you all the time, feeling a puppet myself. Being able to “let the world speak for itself’ humbles me and brings huge appreciation for life as it is.
But in every unseen moment old patterns and habits pull me back to prison or in the guardian role: thinking there’s somebody in prison that has to be guarded. Or thinking ‘I own knowledge and I have to own more to feel complete’. Joining the program helps me set my mind on the aspiration of being able to really live the vision, and helps me training more deeply in letting go and wondering. Letting the TSK vision come into my being. And, I’d like to be able to communicate TSK in such way that it inspires others to ‘give it a try’.

Hello Marieke,
First, your English is just fine! :-) Your description of why you chose TSK resonates with me.
I know that ‘puppet feeling’ too. Doing the exercises, reading the books, repeatedly, and getting instruction from a really good teacher has made a profound difference in my life.

Hi Marieke,
thank you for describing your motivation: “…alive and interconnected…letting go and wondering…” – reading it I again do feel connected at once.
