Kum Nye
In Kum Nye practice there were three stages of unfoldment. In the
first stage an increased familiarity with body, thoughts, feeling, and
emotions occurred. Observing the levels of mind and the mechanism of
our ordinary consciousness was more the focus of the second stage, and
the last stage involved the actual transformation of negative energy
into positive energy. Because this was only an introductory class
there wasn’t enough time to develop the stages. It was enough to find
out that they could be developed. I especially paid close attention to
the exercises at the second stage because they dealt with observing
the mechanism behind our ordinary consciousness, and that had always
been what interested me the most.
According to the TSK vision, our nature had an immense depth to it and
we could open to that depth. That vision challenged what, typically,
got understood as time, space, and knowledge. Opening a person up to
time, space, and knowledge, as opposed to what customarily got
experienced—the constraining aspects in one’s time, space, and
knowledge—– was what the practice of TSK was all about. Unlike most
paradigms, which defined reality, the TSK vision was about revealing
different aspects of reality by generously giving of itself without
ever altering or losing its own nature. In the end, it dissolved
itself in the opening up to what is, or at least that’s what Dr. Beere
told us was supposed to happen. The exercises were all about getting
in touch with that new level of awareness.
So many paths to enlightenment which may be an unenlightened word. Thank you for being.
I agree totally. In fact, a good deal of what I’m trying to communicate here is exactly that–the sublime is all around us. We arrive at our destination when distinctions like inside/outside, whole/part, cease to be meaningful. Take care.
Very interesting… When did you add music to your blog name? or Was it always there?
The confusion is that I have two blogs (bwinwnbwimusic and bwinwnbwi). I transported my old yahoo blog over to wordpress when Yahoo deleted their blog-o-sphere (even postaday blogs can be deleted tomorrow). My old blog was full of long posts–not user friendly and in the move the pictures were deleted. I don’t blog there anymore, but on my last blog there I put postaday2011 in the tags and sometimes people go there. It’s confusing to be sure. I’m only posting here now. This blog has both new posts and reworked old posts from my other blog. I hope this makes the confusion go away a little.
