(assignment week 4)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Giving space to my perceptions, thoughts, images, feelings I\u00c2\u00a0 often felt balanced after meditation. But because of this assignment I thought about this \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctime thing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122..Now I have to admit that there still is indeed a sneaky space-hunting (and time-lined) aspect in my meditation which causes a subtle tense underneath this feeling relaxed and all. So I started to practice to open more for I think what is called Great Space, as a spacious field that accommodates everything there is, not is or could be\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6including this hunting-feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Then I felt more strongly a kind of space between everything I experience, including the experience of having thoughts and the experience of thoughts about an I\/identity, and the experiencing of these experiences. This space gave room to a more aliveness of what I think is called Time, or the time-aspect of Space (or the space-aspect of Time\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6) Instead of going just linear without any influence on my behalf, it vividly appears to me that past present and future kind of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcparticles\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 almost at random \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpopped up\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 into being and disappears just the same back into space. It occurred to me that Time relates to Experiencing. And that we can in the present fully Experience not only the present, but also the future, or the past AS the present\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and I could also feel that the past could be a future and vice versa. I had the feeling that every-time my thoughts about my past, present and future adapt or are adaptable to new experiences. This opened a new dimension to Time for me, seeing the past, present and future as changeable any-time, being more open than the linear timeline I ordinarily walk through. \u00c2\u00a0This makes my experiences more alive indeed and very rich!<\/p>\n<p>But\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 why doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t this help me feeling less trapped in \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclower time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, having to do all kinds of tasks within a few hours? It leaves me questioning about this pressure of linear time I (we) experience in life and how to open this up to more relaxation within the same demandings.<\/p>\n<p>So I guess I have to study on this more, to open up new spaces and connect to new knowledge about this\u00c2\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giving space to my perceptions, thoughts, images, feelings I\u00c2\u00a0 often felt balanced after meditation.
