Pointing Higher Space – Session 2 Assignment 1

Try working with the possibility introduced here with respect to some problem you encounter during the week. What happens when you treat the problem itself as a symbol or a pointer that suggests a ‘higher’ space in operation? Does it even make sense at this point to ask this question?

I have been through a situation full of anxiety and stress recently. And I realized it could have been different. How this experience can be a symbol or a pointer to a higher space? Or in other words, how can we activate this higher space of knowledge?

Most of the times we are so out of space, so “solid” that we don´t see other alternatives. At other times we are so glued in the self´s story that we cans access higher spaces.

“The lower spaces we occupy have caused all kinds of crowding, confusion, weariness, and failures to communicate well. In order to create a sense of harmony and satisfaction both within ourselves and in our relationship with others, it is essential that we develop an awareness of the limitations which we have been passively accepting due to our restricted perspectives.”  TSK 17

“When we first attempt to move to another space, due to the relative opacity or intolerance of our present space, it seems that we have to push and force, to break the rules of our level in order to break out.” TSK 13

So it is important to reflect on your own motivation to activate the TSK vision and experience space in all levels.

In the paper “Space Projecting Space” some guidance is given to help us stay connected with the space of the experience and not out of it. Awareness and motivation are the key ingredients.

By staying centered in the embodied sense of presence as we become aware of the story in operation, we see how we tend to turn stories into narratives. If we let this process unfold unchecked, we abandon the felt knowledge of space in favor of identity from which space is excluded by definition. Being centered and aware, we can focus on the solidity (always connected with self and identity) melting it and releasing the openness of space. SPS 169/173.
