In addition to engaging this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s homework whilst sitting quietly, I am holding it as a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbackground intention\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 for the week. I realised this is a good example of Jack\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s suggestion that we find ways to create practices<\/i> from passages of text. This practice is a useful response to the question about how we always wind up \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcconducting sameness\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n
The experience is of being poised on the edge of a revelation. At the same time a balance of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do this\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 with a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcyearning\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and a sense of something profound and new occurring. Even though I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see it, I know it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s there and know that just as a result of making the effort to reduce my inattention,<\/i> and to live more finely, more of what Jack referred to as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcthe proliferation of possibilities\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 (before they have been named or assigned locations) will make itself known.<\/p>\n
There is another example (page 130) of a statement-question-exercise: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153A way of knowing that could preserve the conducted as conducted could free us from the substance of the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dchappeneded\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and the confining patterns of our own lives. Can we act on this possibility? Is there a knowledge that will make available more directly what remains unformed<\/i> in the temporal dynamic? Can we trace the secret workings of an appearing not shaped by the claim of being real?<\/p>\n
