A couple of observations from practising KTS 40- as I sat observing a tissue box\u00c2\u00a0I reflected\u00c2\u00a0that\u00c2\u00a0its apparent solidity is quite misleading – there is\u00c2\u00a0nothing there internally but space. It seems to sit firmly on the floor – yet there must\u00c2\u00a0 be space between it and the floor or the two would be ‘fused’ together. The box is actually, in a way, floating in space, above the floor. The tissue emerging from the box waves in the breeze. The breeze is also part of space. Sub-atomically even the “hard” edges and corners of the box are chiefly composed of space. So, the box floats in space, seems delineated from space, yet even that delineating partition is itself chiefly space.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is the breeze? It seems to be nothing but space – space moving. Is\u00c2\u00a0the breeze\u00c2\u00a0an attribute of space? If not, what is it? I can’t see it, touch it. In what dimension does it arise?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
I observe a cushion. It has a shape, it has colours. It has a softness. It is however, my labelling that calls it “cushion”, that calls the shape “oblong”, that calls the colours “paisley pattern”. Even softness is a relative concept – “softness’ compared to what? Its corners (partitions) aren’t as sharp as those of the box. They are, however, equally as full of space, just as every physical manifestation seems to be full of space. Is there, ultimately, anything but space?\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
