In facing a practical challenge this week (learning to use an interactive website), my responses are: it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too difficult; there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not enough time; what will it lead to? (more complication, responsibilities, pressure\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6etc\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6!); feeling trapped.<\/p>\n
I notice I am at a borderline \u00e2\u20ac\u201c an edge of myself, an edge of available knowledge, an apparent constriction of time and space \u00e2\u20ac\u201c all sounds like \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclower level\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t it? But it offers an invitation\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n
A \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc12 step approach to TSK\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 presents itself as an idea<\/b><\/p>\n
As in a classical 12 step programme to cure addiction, what if I confess myself powerless in the face of this habituation <\/i>to ignorance, powerlessness and emotionality?<\/p>\n
What if I invoke the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dchigher power\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of Great Knowledge? Can I let Great Knowledge do it (instead of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcme\u00e2\u20ac\u2122)? Can I become an \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcagent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of Great Knowledge; allowing it to be recognised in this realm of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclower\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 time and space?<\/p>\n
In an attempt to get clearer on the significance of symbols in TSK, I turn to Topic 21 which is found in Level Three of Space in When it Rains<\/i>, and discover the reading at page 475 of KTS:<\/p>\n
Great Knowledge is active as the inner light illuminating all that is known.\/\u00c2\u00a0 So long as it is not \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcassessed\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 from a lower knowledge point of view, Great Knowledge conteracts all limits. \/ Though the conventional \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcorder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is potent in its effects, Great Knowledge recognizes it as neither substantial nor fixed, but as a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcread-out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122: a unitary \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcexpression\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 or \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcembodiment\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 of Knowledge. \/\u00c2\u00a0 Within this creative realm, the symbols and concepts that unfold to knowledge in ordinary space and time are accepted<\/span> without being binding<\/span><\/i>.<\/p>\n Putting my faith in the befriending of Great Knowledge, this remains work in progress; appreciating, nurturing and valuing the approach of allowing what KTS calls increasingly Greater Knowledgeability of the Whole<\/i><\/strong> seems a creative way to open up and invite the presence of expanded time, space and knowledge into any seemingly intractable problem.<\/p>\n This approach calls forth that other favourite servant of TSK \u00e2\u20ac\u201c imagination. It brings into play a much wider range of considerations and resources than I might normally take into account, including such things as viewing the problem from as many angles as possible, and distances than usual, and from the perspectives of how it might affect others now and at different future times.<\/p>\n Caroline<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In facing a practical challenge this week (learning to use an interactive website), my responses are: it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too difficult; there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not enough time; what will it lead to?
