D: From my experience, I'd say that words can play a role to some extent in understanding what doesn't work, and not looking where looking won't help. But yes, one who is " thrown back " only to present being and awareness has the happen because it can't be helped. It is timing, not someone else's words. It is not caused by something or someone from outside. As we've noted here before, it is a crisis. I guess you could say it is a crisis for the sense of a directional being (being towards the future, being that anticipates the future, being that involves a sense of control). Also being that is directed from inside reacting to outside. That directional being and awareness is imbedded culturally, and through language and memory use (to project a future and imagine a personal past). Unless there is a significant crisis to the sense of directed being, I'm not sure how so-called centerless awareness/being would be appreciable. What's interesting as I'm writing this is noticing the extent of the deepening crisis " in the world " - which implies simultaneously a time when " awakening " may be available concomittently. - D - Have you read anything from Gurdjieff yet? -geo- avast!

If you want to get into the idea of more and more to learn, go for it. If there are no impediments, then awareness is whole, indivisible, as is. There is nothing to be gotten in the future that will add to what this is. If you are seeking, you form your own impediment. In actuality, there is no impediment. But that doesn't mean there isn't seeking activity that forms self, intention, and goal as a temporal process acting as if there were an impediment. The impediment being imaginary time, and a being chasing to get more knowledge. But go there, if that is your attraction. Forget about your friend dan, he knows nothing anyway. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Anything that is perceived, is what is perceived. The *is* can never be undone. Being out of place isn't possible, because *is* is the only place (and no placement of it). Including my feelings of " how unfortunate " ... Also, not out of place. - D - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 But that doesn't mean there isn't seeking activity that forms self, intention, and goal as a temporal process acting as if there were an impediment. The impediment being imaginary time, and a being chasing to get more knowledge. -d- That is what impediment is. The seeking, searching for more....acting as if there was a self, as if there was impediment. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
