Our ordinary focus on the content of experience as it arises in time is something like focusing on the air bubbles that form within a rushing stream of water\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em> DTS 277<\/p>\n

However, we can go beyond the fascination the bubbles have on us and penetrate beneath the level or ordinary experience.<\/p>\n

This morning I was at the airport waiting for the time to board and remembered the exercise of watching the arising of appearances.<\/p>\n

That happened so fast that for one moment I couldn\u00c2\u00b4t see the arising, and it seemed that my world were always there, frozen, showing all the things I have already known.<\/p>\n

Like a radar, I tried to see what was going on. My awareness could not embrace everything that was there. It was as if I was aware of some things and my mind filled all the blanks with what was known and familiar to me. No elephants or aliens at the airport.<\/p>\n

There was a drive to label and to have everything under control. Despite trying not to focus and establish an overview of the entire environment, there was a gravity capturing my awareness identifying differences in the homogeneous known environment: different sounds, a helicopter flying in the sky, a rushed fat woman.<\/p>\n

Everything that was not in tune with the environment led to uncomfortable feelings that almost always gave rise to an emotion, especially irritation.<\/p>\n
