How much spaces there are?
Hi,
this week my time of reading was filled up with self-created exercises. And the dominant feeling with them, in me, was ” looking through a veil”. Sometimes these veils disappeared and a lot of questions coming up. Less words, descriptions; all questions come up in connection with “exercises”, trying to find resonance in my experience. My exercises were simple, smooth and very relaxed. First: Observing my belly while breathing in and out, perceiving space inside and outside. And is this “air” in my bell a substantiall, solid content? In an oxygen tank it could be ( liquid). And observing “space” inside and outside of my belly I come to the question: does space changes its dimension?
And specially in my second example I bordered to the term “transission”. I was laying in the bath tub. Observing hand and arm, floating in water, stretching out of water. Were is water, what is space. Is space also in the content water, is space in my finger? It is a short way from the example in the reading ( gently pulling a cell…) to my experience. Water seems to me similar infinitely receptive as space.
I dealed with the headline (p. 5-8) “Space without Content” Is this possible? In lot of examples we see “nothing” . Is (sometimes) “nothing” only another dimension? So, my question is, relating to the headline: does space need content? Also: does space need substance?
I saw in the trailer for next week, we´ll continue this object ” Substance”, I´m curious.

Hi Arthur,
I loved your questions as I don’t think I would’ve thought of these angle myself, and find them very trippy when I do. Another off shoot from your questions has triggering an expansion of my constellation (see Bruce posting 25th comments) to exploring a second, set answer of no/yes – so I can play off each against the other as well as search out more possibilities (no matter how daft (hence the trippy too), and see where / how these tracks trail, and if they’re linier (which’ll mean I’m not really getting off the beaten track. Think Jack’s reference in week 4 Skype recording (not sure of accurate ref but around 11 – 14 mins into the recording) to when there’s -more than one there’s the potential- for infinity, really helps here too).
