TSK Exercise 29 -- Awareness As a Reflective Surface

9/27/2011

1 Comment

 
"Now work more generally with all the objects of perception and cognition that constitute your ordinary experience. Instead of manipulating your 'mind' or knowing capacity so as to seize upon objects and thereby know them, simply allow all objects to 'be known'.    At first, this amounts to adopting a more passive role than usual, conceding the active role to the perceived objects . . . they present themselves to your awareness. It is as though you, the subject, have become a neutral, reflective medium, like a mirror or the surface of a lake. Everything that draws near is accepted and reflected without your awareness itself doing anything, or changing in any way as a result of its responsiveness.   

After practicing in this way, de-emphasize the 'presenting to' picture, as well as the assumption that the capacity to know is yours, that is, restricted to your side of the subject-object encounter." (pp. 257-8, TSK)

In the beginning of the session there was the usual dimensionalization including self separate from events and perceptions, and absorption in a narrative. Later some of the dimensioning was 'pulled out', leaving things more integrated, and 'flat' in a sense, with less narrative. Some interesting scenes of being inside my old grammar school appeared, with accompanying questions about their 'validity'. These were largely enjoyable to explore.
