Non-Linear Time and ‘Birth’/'Rebirth’
So, if we move out of linear time, what we call birth is ??? and rebirth is more than possible. Right?

writing and non-linear time
apart from the content, when I write, I feel/think/believe I am not in time as we conventionally know it. When the words come, I am neither surprised nor directing them. It is something entirely different.
Then, too, when I am ‘exploring’ several different ‘times’, in memories, i.e., conventional linear time, I don’t feel like I’m in the present or that the present even exists. In fact, I never think about it. It’s always a surprise. Also, I find it very hard to enter ‘linear’ time after that and become tense and anxious, though I’ve learned to hide it, often, because I’m supposed to fit to it.

Self-forget-ness
Just listening the phone call and remind the short exercise in it, I found a good word for my ” confused ” experience. I was definitively not in a state of ” being self- forgotten”
” Selbstvergessenheit” , do you also say ” selfforgetness”? This would help to open the door – in this case?

LOK Chapter 19: feelings and emotions
For me it is difficult to translate “feelings” and “emotions” exactly in to german language.
I think: feelimgs and emotions are the natural equipment of a human beeing. I try to accept and appreciate these qualities. They seem to be like weather: hot, cold, gentle, powerful, destructive, nourishing. I remember a situation near Bodh Gaya: a thunderstorm was brewing. Tarthang Tulku went out of the bus and looked at the storm and it seemed to me, that he talked with these energies.
Today an old man visited to me. He told about his childhood, his brothers etc. I looked at my ´gut-level´ knowledge and I gained the impression, that I could understand more of the background of his stories.
It seems to me, that in LOK, Ch.19, is told mainly about inflated emotions, less about subtle feelings and emotions. What about “compassion” (in german “Mit-Gefühl”: a feeling with somebody). Compassion could be to feel the vibration of a person, to feel (maybe on the gut-level) with love?
What about a person without or suppressed feelings and emotions? What about a landscape without water? What about love without a moving (feeling – emotional) quality?
Its difficult to make myself understood. Chapter 19 induces me to think and feel about “feelings and emotions”.

A Third Way
The poetic exploration of feelings (perhaps started this week by Eric) seems like a step in the direction of a third kind of knowing: one that includes the “intensity and intimacy” of polar knowledge, and the appetite for coherence found in descriptive knowledge; but a form of knowing that yearns to be free of its enslavement to past conditioning. –Michael
