Melting Concepts

I was, let´s say, instigated by the fundamental challenge described in the Orientation paper for week 6: “No matter what insights you may have, you are still stuck in the position of being the one who knows, and this means your knowledge is fundamentally limited.” And I would like to share with you my reflections about it.

In a world each time more complex, we need references, we need ordinary knowledge to live in this world, otherwise everything would be chaotic. Imagine that there were no words and names; we couldn’t even be studying TSK. This words, concepts and references can be just steps to help us jump and access higher possibilities.

I believe that the frozen world of ordinary knowledge can melt if I consider that there is no ultimate knowledge, knowledge is always changing, always transforming itself, and it is up to us to activate it. I think that the key is creativity; out of any pattern, or with patterns perceived as rhythms in space and time.

I was inspired by the photos of blind photographers who present beautiful images that they cannot see as clearly as us. How is it possible? See the link below.

Another example, is to question what is a chair? How does it feel to sit in one on those below?

When I look at all these pictures I realize that the more I bring flexibility to my life and the more I bring other possibilities, more attuned I will be to the vital flow of time and space.

    Thank you for the link to blind photographers. I like the quote by Peter Eckert “If you can not see it is because your vision is getting in the way.”
