(7/spirit in labyrinth -- LH/sunwise move)
In which we meditate upon matters of content and context, and pay precise attention to paradox (7/spirit in labyrinth -- LH/sunwise move) Spirit: compare doing no-thing (receptive/'right action') with doing anything (analytic/activity) and doing nothing (open intuitive/passivity) Effectively back to analytic, but at a wider level (action vs. activity) Mind/body (moving meditation); do something (act!) so that coincidence can occur -- breaking inertia Relate to spiritual via 'work as prayer' Tao -- 'profit comes from what is there, usefulness from what is not there' Context vs. content -- watching context rather than content Meditative mode, listening; being wide, thinking narrow Intuitive handles: 'give it a name' (vs. analytic categorisation) -- be careful how you name! Focus attention on something, allow yourself be told what to do (listening in e.g. massage) The 'inner watcher' -- non-attachment not the same as objectivity Presence -- pay attention, focus on now; results of inattention (body carries many memories of inattention...) Remain open for deviations: course correction, feedback, open observation |
