My first reaction after doing Ex. 21 was, such narratives are serving my needs, for example to give me a significance. That I find confirmation; I´m in the world and my self can create further 1000s of themes and narratives, plans and labels. It´s not a circle, but a recursive phenomen, a kind of “chaotic looping”. And with the last sentence I reminded my experience with Ex. 9 (DTS) and specially B. Indeed, at some points in this (Ex. 9B) – process the ´content´of my descriptions was fallen away.
And this is my experience with Ex.9B ; after doing A. I was sitting in our livingroom and noting how objects and events has been appearing with dimensionalized space which was supported with my view – within the livingroom and viewing throughout the big window . But all these has been seemed to me mor like a ” first level” of space. The objects and forms “in” my seeing became more and more another qualities. Distance “changed” and the objects lost their separation. And with this changing in my labeling and narration I noticed that I was no more so close to these words, the identifications could be exactly otherwise. It was no more so important.
With part B. there was a good opportunity to expand this way of ” seeing “, particularly to ” give more spaciousness ” into my activity of perception.
My eyes were fixed onto the stone sculpture of my friend. This sculpture of Carrara marble is larded with “stories”: about our friend, his stile of art, about Carrara marble, the transport of the raw marterial etc. But all this labeling disappearred into a “new thing” – I saw the stone without any attachment (Anhaftung?) – a new object.
Now, when I passed the sculpture, I smiled, I saw the stone as if it would be naked.
I read the recent post and two “friends in mind” asked for the experience of the others. And after a first view on “Protecting and Projecting” it seems to me as a direct continuation and deepening. Now it´s my turn to be curious about the experience of the others.
