\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 I can feel the invitation in this week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s readings, assignments and orientation notes to open up to a more living engagement with life.\u00c2\u00a0 Yet a familiar tone of limitation continues to affect everything.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 What is this familiar tone of limitation?\u00c2\u00a0 For me it seems that my mind is always full of the tasks that await me.\u00c2\u00a0 In terms of a field analysis, this tone seems to be present in how I relate to any task that is compelled from outside (income taxes are due in 10 days) as well as those connected with a desire to have a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meaningful\u00e2\u20ac\u009d life (study and writing, including TSK assignments).\u00c2\u00a0 This tone involves a feeling that I lack the awareness, concentration and energy to succeed, and that there is not enough time and knowledge available to get everything done.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Within this pessimistic view of what is possible, lurks a sense that the future is already committed before it arrives.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0I am drawn to certain engagements (notably TSK) more than others because they sometimes open to a wider perspective and they provide a vision of a freer way of being than the one to which I have grown accustomed.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 A side effect of packing my days with activities that I feel obliged to pursue appears to be that I need entertainment breaks.\u00c2\u00a0 So I watch videos and have some favourite TV serials.\u00c2\u00a0 Too much self-imposed obligation necessitates entertainment breaks and too much mindless entertainment necessitates doubling down on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153meaningful\u00e2\u20ac\u009d activities I assign myself.\u00c2\u00a0 However neither guarantees that I am able to contact the fulfilling feelings of which the TSK readings speak so compellingly.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0So I keep studying TSK because sometimes, while reading the texts, I feel that there really is another, more fulfilling way to live.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
