The practice for this week invites to investigate the movement of time from moment to moment in my experience.<\/p>\n
When I listen to a continuous sound as it took place in one moment I have to focus my awareness, to make contact with this sound, let it pervade my awareness in a way that no transition or change is happening. If I became distracted and other things are included, the change occupies the experience and the one moment dissolves. In this kind of experience there is a tension when I try to exclude other things. For example: I am focusing in the continuous sound of the air conditioning, but there is the sound of the neighbor refurbishing his apartment, and there is also the sound of a saw happening.<\/p>\n
In the above experience it seems like the self is controlling the experience and for this reason it is limited and tense.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, if I listen to both sounds and also include the view of the room I am writing this assignment and what I am feeling right now, my awareness works to include more than one focus. In this case it seems that the experience is less tense. The control of the self is diluted and a more alive and flowing experience takes place. When I looked for the transition, it was difficult to find. It looks like different rhythms happening together.<\/p>\n
If I try to refer to a new experience that arises back to the moment before, I have to freeze and to narrow the experience. Referring to the moment when the saw of the neighbor began to make noise, I had to use \u00e2\u20ac\u0153my\u00e2\u20ac\u009d awareness to connect the moment before and after the saw, the moment it began to bother me.<\/p>\n
The link between past, present and future depends on this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I am\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, which binds together moments in time and patters human affairs. LOK 179<\/i><\/p>\n
When timing does not insist on the link of sequential flow or going TSK 151, all points become accessible TSK 155, and infinite possibilities open, based on intense intimacy. TSK 159.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
