The Dance of Subject and Object: A Journey into Self-Discovery
Manage episode 420396532 series 3327598
For a young child, prior to psychological development, the world is experienced through an innocent present moment awareness. As adults, our world is experienced through memory, concepts, interpretations, and perceptual patterns. We no longer experience what is as is.
We seek to re-experience this lost self in the transient and perishable objects of mind. The personal mind jumps from object to object, which is familiar to us as the busy non-stop mind. That is our usual life. What happens when the mind stops its relationship with mental objects, even for a moment? What happens when the mind becomes still? What happens when there is neither a subject or object, an I or an It.
Join me in exploring the dance of subject, object, and the mystery that reveals itself when both fade into consciousness.
