Please also look at TSK Ex. 4, but I don&#8217;t actually recommend trying to do it in the way it is presented in the book. Instead, here is an adaptation inspired by it:<\/p>\n<p>At various times during the day, or in a more formal sitting session if you like, focus lightly on an object and let yourself see it in terms of &#8220;just interactions and shining outlines.&#8221; This may change the way you see the object; for instance, the way it relates to its background and surroundings. Do this for just a minute or so, but do it several times during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Again, my apologies. I actually expect to be able to contribute more frequently in this class.<\/p>\n<p>The orientation will follow in a few hours.<\/p>\n<p>Jack<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Participants, My apologies for not getting started earlier.
