It seems that TSK made me become creative in a different way. If I look, let’s say 20 years ago, I would tend to solve “problems” in a different way, looking for solutions more in the “outer” circumstances than in the possibility of change my focal setting. Letting go of a strong and painful emotional state would take longer. I would have to go for a long walk or so…Today I’m at least aware of other possibilities. Instead of focussing on the stories that keep the emotion alive, I try to sense the availibility of a more open space. Just thinking of it makes a difference already. The whole emotionality is such a waste of time. Time that could be really enjoyed and used for things I really want to do. It seems to me that “TSK creativity” is less based on a “creator”, but on the ability to tune into time’s and space’s natural aliveness and creativity, by forgetting “creator” and “creation”.
Maybe one day I could embody time more dircetly, letting it’s creativity manifest in my actions, without any act of creation on “my side”.
Dear Klaus:

Klaus,
I appreciate your post. You really capture the freedom that can arise when we challenge the engrained habit of holding onto emotional states–a habit that prevents us from living in time and and accessing the open possibilites of space. When you refer to an “act of creation on ‘my side’.” I think you put your finger on something crucial: creativity cannot blossom when we are confined to one pole of a polarity. After all, “It takes two to tango:.
