The Dance of Space and Time

by Administrator on February 6, 2012

Hayward asked that I post this…in living appreciation of Rinpoche.

Primordial Couple
Forever entwined

The dancing embrace
Of Space and Time


Through the eyes of Convention
The limits of known
Time and Space invisible background
Framing when and locating where

Space as container
Surrounding all things

Gracefully contours
To accommodate dimension

The length height and width of all things
Occupies focused attention

Confusing form and substance
Space appears solid

Vast openness is selectively ignored
As measurements’ meaning is routinely explored

Time is partitioned and sequenced quite clear
As past present and future appear

Here, there, after, before
Ordering, taming, dimming splendor


Through the eyes of Knowledge
Time and space visible appear

Let the background come forth
The dynamic revealed

Behold transcendent dimensions
Intrinsically within

Allowing all objects be Space
And movement be Time

Space surrounding, permeating and infusing
All form

Time nakedly exposed
As inherent movement of all change

Time and space in information
Informing all message

Time giving form to meaning
And Space meaning to place

Space allows by surrounding
And supports by infusing

And Time as weaver runs through
All that is woven

Subject and object mutually appear
Sharing moment

The intimacy of
Time’s space

Focal settings macro to micro all confirm
Time and Space is ever-present for the knowing

Time giving form to space
Present and entirely open

Appearance without substance
Sheer afterglow of loving embrace

Focus on the knowledge aspect of the establishing activity of the senses

July 22, 2011

From my porch, I’m looking out over a field of very tall grass; windblown uncut that is roiling green. At the edge, the farmer cut a wide path. He will return and cut the rest at some point, but now the path lies flat and golden in the sun, like a beach at the [...]

reg. text page 223 … in moments of surprise or unusual intensity…

March 20, 2010

Moments of deep experience I new through the death of my friend Suneth. Suddenly the linear time stopped to be and I found myself in a space that was new and unexplored for me. There was no old pattern, that the Self could count on, no chances to look to experiences from the past, no hope for [...]

A nice Story

February 25, 2010

I try to translate a few chapters of LOK into German. It is difficult for me to do this, and I need very often to use the dictionary. But it helps to understand each word. Each word, but when I try to remember the whole text – I don´t remember. And I don´t understand. And [...]

Memory

January 23, 2010

Where I´m looking, there I´m finding memories, very much memories, like a soup with many vegetables. My thinking is full of memories, the same with my body (going, swimming, cycling, eating…). Even my gene seem full of ancient memories. But my memories are creative, they change, they adapt to my moods and vantage points (near [...]

Appreciation of memory

January 19, 2010

My first reaction to the readings is to appreciate memory.
Does learning without memory be possible? To use a tool requires memory, requires, to tell/remember an adequate story. The very young child and old people with Alzheimer´s disease (they are loosing their memory) cannot survive without the help of other people.
When I think about “love”, I [...]

Tapestry Unwind…

December 4, 2009

Oh memories of days gone by…
That won’t let you be free…
Hovering like a dark storm cloud…
Refusing life to breathe…
Ironically they may not be…
Just what they pretend…
Retracing them a different way…
Allows for them to bend…
Memories so frozen…
Now melting into free…
Allowing for such freedom…
Opens myriad possibility…
One memory can shut you down…
Or open up your mind…
To endless views [...]

Space: Powers of 10

February 4, 2007

The following flash animation is a helpful visual aid for several of the space practices, such as “Containment” or “The Qualities of Space” or perhaps several others:

A Poem from the Online Program

January 21, 2007

This ‘poem’ emerged out of comments by three different participants in the online TSK program, I put them together. The context was reflections on some TSK exercises that ask about moments between moments, and about stepping ‘outside’ the flow of moments:
“What shall I call the transition
from breathing out to breathing in?
Death?”
Giving each moment back to [...]
