Each one unfolds to the next level when a more complete knowledge of the experience is presented. The point is to see what it might be like to sense that our experience can be different, and be open to challenge limiting structures.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind let\u00c2\u00b4s bring the question: can we drop the commitment to linear time, grounded in the stories of the self? Can we challenge the limiting structure of this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153first level\u00e2\u20ac\u009d time? To investigate the temporal order we need to turn to the founding <em>activity <\/em>of establishing and knowing through which the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctemporal order\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 arises.<\/p>\n<p>One approach could be: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Consciousness and physical objects, linear time and empty space all arising together, products of the founding momentum of this fundamental activity (establishing and knowing) \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The temporal order of both the subjective and objective realms\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand their interrelationship\u00e2\u20ac\u201dcould be understood as expressing the founding logos.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d KTS 35 This way of looking shifts the emphasis away from subject and object, which are now seen as patternings presented by the logos<\/p>\n<p>But, underneath this \u00e2\u20ac\u0153second level\u00e2\u20ac\u009d dynamic of time, we find the subject\/bystander strengthening its dwelling in some persistent structure from moment to moment. So another question: can this structure be more complete, or in other words more open?<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Suppose that awareness were not owned by the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbystander\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, and so were available \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwithin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 experience, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 experience (no owner, no position, no temporal order) \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Available at the outset as well as the outcome, such awareness could be understood as the expression of a deeper knowledge, alive with a vitality prior to distinctions and determinations.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d KTS 313<\/p>\n<p>Awareness, as expression of a deeper knowledge, would precede the positionings that characterize conventional space, and would remain available and free even when \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccaught\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 in emotional constructs and perceptual frameworks.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153At this higher level, the act of knowing does not need to obey conventional structures: It need not traverse a distance, nor does it have to be \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcmeasured out\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The accommodation of space and dynamic of time unfold in knowledge to present an existence that is inevitably and inseparably our own. Knowing and Being enter into a partnership in which knowing and knower are the same.
