In class we were asked to do a momentary exercise to see if we could recognize the field<\/em> communiqu\u00c3\u00a9 — <\/em>the act of how knowing space communicates forward from the previous moment.\u00c2\u00a0We were to choose an object in the room and focus on what was essential <\/em>about it, then, close our eyes and visualize the object’s essential <\/em>aspects eliminating what was non-essential.\u00c2\u00a0This exercise was a way of introducing us to the next exercise called ‘Condensing’<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Visualize an Object<\/p><\/div>\n

I chose a pale-green, oblong candle on a shelf, sitting among other items, in front of a window looking out on maple trees, and so on.\u00c2\u00a0So I focused or isolated the candle, and thought, as an object its shape was essential, and its color secondary.\u00c2\u00a0 What struck me about the shape were its distinct ‘edges’<\/em> and ‘angles’<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 When I closed my eyes to visualize, I was looking for an image of the candle but it did not appear.\u00c2\u00a0There was just darkish swirling space cleaved in half by a distinct ‘edge’<\/em> and ‘angle’<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0And I realized the ‘field’<\/em> had ‘communicated<\/em> forward’<\/em> what I held as essential to the visualization of the object. <\/p>\n

I had seen the field communiqu\u00c3\u00a9 in action.\u00c2\u00a0There was a pale green tinge to this almost indistinguishable shape that looked in its momentary arising as a basic structure, almost a wisp of the makings of an image of the candle. It would be up to further intellectual activity to add more aspects to the visualization if I chose, by ‘referring’<\/em> back to memory and calling up the wick and wax, and the human purpose of the object, etc. And I realized, this is how I do it, from moment to moment. A kind of whole consisting of essentials, as a sort of direct mental arising, as a process proceeds to build upon it. This is how I write, how I paint, how I solve problems at a basic and fundamental way.<\/p>\n
