Marcia continues a previous comment, to which I responded in a post. She says (and so does Peter in a post) that these things are hard to put in words. It’s true, but words can also help.<\/p>\n
Marcia, I think what you say about the proper moment is right. The language in the TSK books that I think speaks most clearly to this is the discussion of the decisive point, or point of decision, at the end of Knowledge of Time and Space. So if I try to relate this to the practice and the theme we are working with now, I would say that when we approach appearance and experience as light, we allow the whole of the experience to manifest, without closing it down. And this wholeness is the point!<\/p>\n
Michael, I really like your last question: why do we have the word “timely,” but not “spacely” (We do have “knowingly,” though. Maybe it has to do with the way that space always disappears from view. On the other hand, we do have spaciously. And perhaps for ‘time’, the word that comes close is ‘immediately’, at least in some of its meanings.<\/p>\n
It’s interesting that light leads us back to embodiment, because light seems to be so disembodied, so much the opposite of matter. I suppose the bridge between the two is the senses.<\/p>\n
Peter, you often write (using different expressions) that you feel confused (verwirrt). I wonder if you can find the light within the confusion. This relates to my earlier questions. So even if you take the brown of a bad mood, can you make it more light (perhaps in English we could say, more ‘delightful’) You suggest for yourself a way to do that: the red becomes more vivd, and the red becomes more vivid. What if you jumped from one to the other?<\/p>\n
I will have comments for Week 5 tomorrow.<\/p>\n
