Noticing occurs in the timeless moment of now, because it doesn't require thought. It occurs as a flash of awareness. What requires time is the getting the hell out of the way so that this can occur. Phil >>>>>>>>>>>> Noticing isn't noticing without a *recognition* of what is noticed. That's more than one step right there, therefore time. Bill Stop that, Bill! Hehe. Lets see, there's the noticing, then there's the recognition of the noticing, then there's the acknowledgment of the recognition of the noticing, then there's the knowing of the acknowledging of the recognition of the noticing. ~ This is just more mental dissection and analysis. There is the noticing of the truth. Whatever sort of menturbation you want to do with it after that is your affair. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
