In playing with time and knowledge in this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s walkabout practice I found a nice opening in m experience of lived time. As I explored the presence of Great Time, meaning as I engaged the possibility of Great Time, the sense of what constitutes being \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpresent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 expanded greatly. Instead of being an individual among a vast array of other individuals (people, things, creatures, etc) I was able to feel that I was only \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcon the inside\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. That there was no outside, that time was some kind of medium that had substance and volume to it, and this was because \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpast\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfuture\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 were fully included. There were moments where I felt a deep richness that was absolved of pressure from outside, because there was only \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcinside\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. Much more felt accessible and even other eras, times, locations, dimensions were seemingly available on the periphery of my consciousness. This is a very rewarding \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcspace\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 to be in. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clear that in this view, space had become greater as well.<\/p>\n
In exploring the practice of knower and known, and practicing experiencing my self as manifesting with all the knowns and other knowings (selves) around me, I noticed that it softened the tension of having so many personal needs. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not as much to defend when my self is co-arising with all other selves, or even meanings, and that it is all a vast play of knowledge in a larger sense. There is this sense that there is a much vaster play going on in which I am not the center player and this was actually much more interesting and engaging. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lighter with more possibility and empowerment. Being aware of this much larger reality allows me to let go more easily, and often more quickly, of the ways I get stuck on things mentally or emotionally. These life stories or little life situations are entirely centered on the importance and centrality of the self, but they pale in comparison to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s really going on\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in Time, in Space and in Knowledge. Glimpsing what is really going on is very liberating and I find myself more and more drawn to bring my awareness and attentions to that, to practicing being it, in the structure of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcdaily life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
