a few comments on last week’s posts

Hi all,

Like Michael, I enjoyed the last few posts (including his!). The image of riding on a wave is good, and somehow that image of “surfing” comes up often: it seems to capture something of the sense of balance that is so helpful as we face each moment. Perhaps you could combine this image with the image of the bicycle (we keep our balancing by constantly losing it). In this sense, you could say we are always falling into the future.

This does not exactly mean that there is a future, but the future may be our way of making sense of the open dimension of experience: open to every possibility.

It is not so easy to stay in touch with the “TSK dimension” of experience in everyday life. But perhaps the point is that we should not try too hard (like Arthur with his future concerns, that are not so troubling). If we do touch the openness of experience, then that lightness can accompany whatever happens. It is not so much something we add to experience, or a perspective we take on experience; rather, experience itself is different in a subtle way. That is one reason it is so difficult to say exactly what happens when we do TSK, or what the benefit is.
