In one of my classes, the question came up as to \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 we should want to get back to recognizing Knowingness in our experience\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Why is recognizing Knowingness in my day to day living good for me? I came across this passage from the book by Richard Dixey, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSearcher Reaches Land\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Limits<\/em>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, which is NOT a TSK book. I always have to say that because the teachers don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want us to confuse paths\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 since all paths are not the same, terms and concepts in one path don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t necessarily mean the same thing in another. So even though it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s NOT TSK, both paths focus on the point of conception, where Knowingness is dynamic and can be recognized. The beauty of TSK is that it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a model designed to keep us inquiring\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 that at its essence we are invited to always open to Knowingness through \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcInquiry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. So, I thought Richard Dixey expresses this inquiry and the reason for it well, and thus worth sharing. He says\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What we are trying to do is to break the stimulus-response loop that causes us to be so pressured. Remember, what happens to us in our everyday experience is that initial sense impressions arise and we re-cognize them immediately. That immediacy creates a continual pressure to react, precisely because we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t inhabit that moment of cognition: we have no space and no time to stop before our reactions have set off another sensory loop.<\/strong> We can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stop the clock: we live in a world of continual change where there is always stuff coming at us. Because of this, learning to stop the clock is the secret of serenity.<\/strong> But you won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t become serene by sitting in a cave and trying to shut off sensory input: that will not stop the clock. All that will happen is that your internal senses will start generating their own inputs and drive you crazy in your solitude. The way to serenity is by taking control of the sensory inputs: they can still be operating, but you are no longer obligated to react to them the moment they arise<\/strong>.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

PAGE 135, PARAGRAPH 2 From \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRevelations of Mind\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by Tarthang Tulku: Mind can only recognize what time allows. We could \u00e2\u20ac\u0153view time as a field of opportunity that mind enters in order to act. Immediately, as if suddenly enveloped in a gigantic hologram projection, we are presented with the whole context of our \u00e2\u20ac\u0153reality: the sense of being, the sense of surroundings, and the sense of movement \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcfrom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcto\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/strong>. Like a seed planted by mind in the field of time, this projection, developed and replicated throughout human history, is the model for each instant of experience. While the specifics change from moment to moment, the model is continuously replicated: it persists, unquestioned and unquestionable, perpetuating itself through the power of its own dynamic. We participate by embodying it and projecting into all we think and do<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153So, we are now beginning to take a look at how the metaphysical constructs that we create are operating as they happen, moment-to-moment. In particular, we are focusing on the point where mind enters in order to act. This is the moment of contact<\/strong>. Every experience that we have begins here: this moment of contact is where the world begins.<\/strong> Accessing the moment of contact is a universal key. If it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s accessible, it becomes the place where change is truly possible.<\/strong> Otherwise, change can only happen within a construct that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s already crystallized, which limits what changes can take place. But at the moment of contact\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthe moment of conception\u00e2\u20ac\u201dchange is absolute. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the difference<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The seed that contact plants in the field of time is re-cognition. A phenomenon arises. It is grasped: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What is that?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It is re-cognized: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a clock\u00e2\u20ac\u009d: and then it is recognized: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I saw a clock.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And with the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I saw a clock,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d all the associations of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcclock\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, and where \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI am\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, all come into being together.<\/em><\/strong> The whole world arises like a magical display. I am in it, the clock is \u00e2\u20ac\u0153in it, everything else is in it. But right at the very beginning of conception, none of that was present\u00e2\u20ac\u201dit was just a shimmering display<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

That seed of recognition is planted, and its fruit is the whole world: and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s repeated again and again, from moment to moment, by every single sentient being.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
