TSK presents so many challenges that we can sometimes wonder why we study it.
For me it is about freedom. I can begin asking if I am really free. I can ask if things in my life are flowing smoothly, and if I can choose not to suffer and really don´t going through it.
One book I have read: “The Age of Reason†by Jean Paul Sartre was outstanding for me. It is about the story of one man that wanted to be free and for that reason he didn´t committed to anything. In the end he realized that this attitude made him let many things behind preventing him to live fully.
For me TSK help me to question my experience and find the barriers that are preventing me to be really free. TSK points ways to investigate mind and experience different from what I am used to. At first it seems that TSK is about physics: space and time. But progressing in the readings and practices I see that it is more than that, because “I†am included in the investigation, so it is about my life.
There is a recent movie that I liked a lot: Gravity. In this movie takes place off the planet Earth, an unusual space with just one character a woman astronaut fearful, insecure and alone; the spaceship she was in was destroyed and her fellow travelers were lost. And the movie deals with her journey back to planet Earth. An in the movie she deals successfully with her barriers and her mind settings and come back home.
I see that with TSK I can drop the world vision I share with other human beings and embrace knowledge:
“The entry point for knowledge is the point of transition that allows access where concepts can only pass by. …. Confusion dissolves, and a process of natural healing begins. Mind, self, and energy transit together, journeying toward the same goal, opening newly … Mind can transcend in being always transient, ever awakening to the light of knowledge.†VOK 148.
Thanks for sharing this. I like the sense in your post of the call of freedom.
