TSK Exercise 20 – Reversing Temporal Structure<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6with a specific thought or expectation regarding your future, reverse <\/em>the directionality by which it is known in reference to your present…”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I am following my intentions, my desires, some have images of objects, some are strategic plans to accomplish something. All were future expectations, imagined, volleys of thought hurled into space based on acts of intent created from my position and identity here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The projection–<\/p>\n

<\/strong> So, I project myself into the future and imagine these intentions satisfied, objects obtained, desires realized. For a moment I’m surprised, it’s as though scales have fallen from my eyes… those images now gone, there is nothing there to achieve anymore except in their place a momentary openness, freedom from the images & objects that were attached to me. Suddenly available space is just waiting. <\/p>\n

\n

“\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6then make a similar reversal for the case of past memories and images. Look from the past to the present.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I’m remembering a time when I made a significant decision. I tried to orient myself back then aware of what I thought I knew of how things were, and the way I felt about them at that time. I try to open up that constellation of assumptions, and delve into my presumptions. Opening up that past with me in it… it occurs that I could have seen<\/em> things differently, my frustrations came largely from my own narrow perspective. I could have chosen<\/em> differently, other possibilities, other reasonable choices come into focus, other threads and connections could have branched out in time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The reversal —<\/p>\n

<\/strong> Then I imagine myself living some of those different choices in an alternate future from where my lived time-line has actually brought me. The result is I feel no longer me, not the same identity in the same place. I’m some other story, at least to some degree I’ve re-written<\/em> myself at a level that seems more fundamental. <\/p>\n

I see much of the strategic planning I’ve done in my life usually involves looking at alternative paths and their possible consequences, but these exercises take this process to another level. They seem to display or open up more aspects (the whole constellation) for inquiry.<\/p>\n
