Clarifying the dimensions of being with whatever comes up
I realize that when I am with whatever comes up, in a simple, quiet way, there is more going on than what initially came to mind.
Awake emptiness
There is the awake emptiness aspect, allowing whatever comes up to unfold within and as awake emptiness, revealing themselves as nothing other than awake emptiness.
Form
And then there is the form aspect, the dynamic unfolding within form, which in itself has several dimensions.
Being with experiences in itself tends to allow knots to unravel, and this is the simplest one.
Then, there are the insights into the dynamics of form, or more accurately the mind, similar to what happens in insight meditation.
And then there are several variations of following the process unfolding, from traditional Process Work and active imagination, to following the dynamics of the essence, of the soul, of the subtle energies.
Allowing each other
And one allows the other.
Seeing form as nothing other than awake emptiness takes the charge out of it, allowing for a deeper exploration of the form aspect itself.
And gaining insight into the processes of the mind also takes some of the charge and drama out of it, allowing for an easier recognition of whatever arises as nothing other than awake emptiness.
