Multiplicity and Wholeness

Sometimes the TSK texts seem to be asking us to shrink our world: flattening three-dimensional space; the suggestion that separation and distance are not real attributes of appearance; the suggestion that a single appearance can fill all of Space.  At first glance, it seems we are being asked to reduce the fullness of our usual multiple entities and parsed out reality.  But gradually it sinks in that this busyness is not fullness or wholeness: when we see fragments, separation, parts, we are failing to see a unitary space with its corresponding Body of Knowledge.  It’s not that Space and Knowledge are too limited to accommodate multiplicty.  It’s that multiplicity is not fundamentally at the core.  Perhaps with every appearance we are looking through one of the many windows through which we can glimpse a vastness that is intrinsically unbroken.  –Michael
