“We have framed a reality that has no heart.”
—Dynamics of Time and Space, Page 24
These nine words invoke the human realm, how it operates, and how suffering continues.
Associations:
–Reality has been framed, like an innocent suspect being interrogated,
–What we call reality is like a corpse with no life-giving blood running through its veins
–There is no abiding, intrinsic coherence joining the successon of appearances onto which we project substance, permanence and an existence independent of our own search for meaning.
Corollaries:
–Unless we include our own being in the dynamic, reality is like a brochure of a vacation get-away that we will never actually visit,
–For reality to have a heart, we have to lend it ours, like a mother and a fetus beating as one,
–Just as a mother’s sharing of her heart with her fetus is not self-centered, we are at our most generous and open, when we allow outselves to care about all we are tempted to call real.
