My current attempts to understand the TSK material about field dynamics and mechanics have resisted my efforts.\u00c2\u00a0 I have found it difficult to step through the material in an organized way.\u00c2\u00a0 The readings, the notes, the assignments, all seem to invite familiarity with some other area of the material and I was unable to remember one thing well enough to harmonize it with the others.\u00c2\u00a0 At some point, it occurred to me that I was in a mutually-referring, mutually-defining complex, without a key, and that this felt strangely like how the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153field\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was being presented.<\/p>\n

Unable to find a centre around which my desire for mastery could cohere, I started my practice of DTS exercise 3 this morning.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure whether my own experience is an example of how a field operates, but I did feel motivated to contact the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153playfulness of thoughts\u00e2\u20ac\u009d–in place of having my \u00e2\u20ac\u0153energy squandered in thought patterns that lead nowhere\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n

I recognized a gravitational pull in my feeling that there is too much to do and that I lack the capacity to successfully do it.\u00c2\u00a0 I glimpsed a defining field, in which an anxious desire to be successful operates.\u00c2\u00a0 However this field is more than an imprisoning set of conditions.\u00c2\u00a0 It also sponsors the form of my human embodiment, provides a channel for the energy of life, and makes available the traditions, the literature, and the spiritual guidance on which I draw each day.<\/p>\n

The idea that all of this is held in place by a field \u00e2\u20ac\u0153mechanism\u00e2\u20ac\u009d seems inadequate to my desire for openness, freedom, and beauty.\u00c2\u00a0 However there are worse fates than to be acting out a script generated by field dynamics and shaped by field mechanics\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsince that means that I am free to audition for a different role than the one I am now playing.\u00c2\u00a0 It is also comforting to sense that a dynamic energy, even with the limitations of its consolidating tendencies, is at play\u00e2\u20ac\u201dsince the familiar alternative is a substantial world driven by linear time in which I am an isolated atom fixed in place.<\/p>\n

How much better it feels to have another vision than that of the unforgiving edges of a world too massive and abiding for one individual to influence, or to be collateral damage in some higher Being\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s world creation.\u00c2\u00a0 It seems more than worth the effort to grapple with a vision that offers access to, indeed participation in, this unfinished creation story.<\/p>\n
