This is my first post and my first experience of TSK.\u00c2\u00a0 While my meditation practice means that the general concepts have a familiar feel, I observed a low level of anxiety (or something like that) when reading the text.\u00c2\u00a0 I was aware that the invitation to TSK was an opening to a very different way of being.\u00c2\u00a0 Which is somewhat scary because it requires a letting go of all that seems so real and fixed (“frozen”?).<\/p>\n
I have only just started on the exercise – it has taken me a few days to get comfortable with the practicalities of the on-line process – and I don’t have much to say but wanted to honour the request from Jack (it feels a bit awkward to put myself on first name terms and I hope this is the protocol!!) to post something. I will be away for a couple of days and so this is my only opportunity before we move to the next exercise.<\/p>\n
I was struck very much just a short while ago this evening when, for the first time every, i attended a drawing class.\u00c2\u00a0 The instruction was to see the space around objects, to see the space itself as an object .\u00c2\u00a0 And this meant that I was compelled to look at objects from this perspective.\u00c2\u00a0 THis has a big impact.\u00c2\u00a0 It made me feel most uncomfortable because my ‘reality’ suddenly was not so solid.\u00c2\u00a0 For me, this aligned with the very, very little of the TSK teachings I have read (seriously only a few pages I am absolutely new to this) and also with concepts which Christopher has touched upon during mediation.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
